The Last Time We Saw Michelle
Grandma Denny's sweet girl
This is not really a story...it's a fact I was reminded of today through a photo of Michelle and Grandma Denny. There was such a deep love between Michelle and her Great Grandma Denny and how happy Grandma was to see her in Heaven. I can only imagine shared joy, laughter and fun happening between them even as I write this today! I am confident I will see them and be part of their joy, too.With love, deep yearning to see her and much gratitude that she landed in my life! Aunt Sharon

Family and Friends of Michelle,
I am late, but nonetheless saddened, to learn of Michelle's passing. She was a coworker of mine at Lash group in San Bruno. A star employee, she spent a lot of time training me when I first came on board at the company. I remember her as kind and intelligent. I was new to the area, so she took the time to show me the best local lunch spots and told me where to go sightseeing. She was an excellent teacher, and an ambitious person - she kept some of her USF course material tacked to her cubicle walls so she could study on her breaks. She regaled my coworkers and I with stories of her European adventures and hilarious travelling fiascos. Her best story: She woke up at 8pm from an after-work nap confused, thinking that it was 8am; sped all the way to work and called our boss frantically apologizing for being late, only to realize what time it actually was. May God bless your family, and may He take Michelle into his loving arms.
wish I could have known her

Berry Cobbler
Michelle always wanted berry cobbler for her birthday.Last year she wanted it in small individual servings so she could have one every few days. Guess she just didn't want to share grandma's cobbler. This time I just made large ones for everyone in memory of her. Jesus will give you all the berry cobbler you want Michelle. GMa The day Michelle was lost is another family story. I always had a 6th sense when something was wrong with my family. One day when Michelle was very young, I just kept thinking something was not right. I called Kathy and she told me they had been searching everywhere and even had the sheriff's office and all the neighbors searching for her. They found her sound asleep in a corner way under her bed. She was probably playing hide and seek and fell asleep. We'll always love you our beautiful, wonderful grand daughter. We'll never eat berry cobbler without thinking of you GMa

Christmas
This was a very special christmas for my family, If you know the Marshall family you know about the Christmas plays at the grange. The year of this picture David got the prestigious job of being Santa Claus, Michelle, Michael and me could not stop laughing at David. He was the most humerous santa we ever had, he stuffed a pillow in his stomach and really got into the act of being santa for our little cousins and second cousins.
My Graduation
I was so blessed to have my beautiful sister cheering me on through my high school career. I remember when i was graduating I told her she didn't have to come to my ceremony because it was going to be so boring, hours and hours of listening to names getting called. Michelle would not have it though so she drove down from San Francisco to join in on celebrating a special event in my life. The morning of my graduation Michelle helped me get ready like she would always do for me when I had a special event to go to, I was running so late that morning though. Michelle being the amazing big sister that she was wouldn't let me show up late to my graduation ceremony so she drove me there as fast and reckless as she could haha. I don't know how many of you have had the privelidge of riding in the car with Michelle, but she was definately what you would call an aggressive driver. That morning though I think she cut off a little more people then normal just so i would make it to my ceromony on time. We were laughing so hard when we got there thinking of what a funny sight we were driving in the big mercedes SUV with the Stanford sticker in the back cutting people off.
