Michelle was a mother who deeply loved and cared for her children. She was a patient and loyal wife, and a giving sister. She was the keeper of the family, and the organizer of the holidays. She demonstrated what it was to be family. Blood or not, if you’re in you’re in. We all learned how to love without boundaries, and hold the ones you love close. She enjoyed the sunshine and could usually be found on any sunny day slathered in the best oils. It was a ritual we all shared, when the sun was out we were in it.
She will be missed and will be remembered, not just by her survivors, husband Tim, sons Tj and Scott, daughter Rachel and finally dog Bently. But also by the ones she loved, her family. So many, and many who were more than friends, they were family. Friends who became sisters, kids who became sons, daughters, nieces, and nephews. Babies who are now grandbabies, her love saw no boundaries, it was giving and everlasting. She taught us that family sticks together, and that we are there because you should be. That is the legacy she leaves us with, the duty she has given us, to love without boundaries, and take care of each other, no exceptions. Let’s all remember her laugh and her love, she was here as a gift to teach us the value of love.
There will be a memorial service on Monday, November 25, 2019 at 2:00 p.m. at Bateman Carroll Funeral Home, located at 520 W. Powell Blvd. in Gresham, OR.
You are all welcome to leave messages of sympathy for the family on this website which will go into a family remembrance book.
