Michelle Lynn (Grife) Bartell

Happy Birthday Michelle!

You would always say doesn't feel like your Birthday because of Christmas.  We tried to seperate the two,but you were the best gift we could have ever had.  You were our pride and joy and have not and will not ever forget you!  We almost lost you in a car accident and than your heart attack at 41 yrs old. You are missed so much by all of us.

We visited you today and sent our Love thru the purple balloons with Pam, Lisa, Nevaeh,Tate;Sara, Elyse & new baby kori. I played my accordian for you,"  YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE " That you always wanted me to play when you came home for the weekend ,and I would say next time, you always remembered me playing and you would sing it with me , also "BEE- BOP-A-LOO" when you were a little girl.  I didn't play good now, it had been so long since I played it.  I asked you kids what you would want when we were gone and you said all I want is your accordian, well it had your name inside the case so you could get it, when we passed on .  Never expected this, to have you gone before us.   Your dad ate your tomatoes that we planted for you, and we could see your face when you ate them with a big grin and enjoyed them saying MMMMMMMMMMMMMMThis is a hard day for us and everyone that knew you ; " YOU TOUCHED A LOT OF PEOPLES LIVES"! We love you SooooooooooooMuch     Mom & Dad
