Michelle was a beautiful soul, who made a great impact in her short time her on earth.

It was a very sad day when Michelle Thomas passed away and many times it’s hard to wrap our heads around why beautiful souls, like Michelle, have to leave us so young, but at least we can be grateful for the time that those souls spent here, gracing us with their positive energy. Michelle will forever be missed. May she continue to rest peacefully.
