my grandmother was a very kindhearted, strong, and beautiful person she always showed love to all of her grandchildren, she was very caring no matter what, and did anything she could to put a smile on our faces, from all the times she would put and band aid on our boo boos, to the times she gave us medicine, no matter if she was sick herself she would always put us first, she will be missed and we love her forever

A beautiful name to match a beautiful person
Michalene was always so loving and kind hearted. She reminded me so much of my own mother… just selfless. I always feel the best angels are called way too early. Auntie Micha was so loved and she loved harder. Always warm and a joy to be around. Wew we will miss you. God has you now until we all meet again.
Mother to many
Incredible soul
Caring heart, now
Heavens angel
A beautiful smile
Lavish legacy
Epitome of love
Noble woman, nothing artificial
Emptiness fills a heart once whole
Love you! Your job is complete here, you are in a place where your heart is out-matched, may you enjoy heavens warmth

My heartfelt condolences and prayers for strength and comfort go out to her family during this difficult time. Michalene was more than a mother to just her children; she was also a mother to me. During gatherings, we spent time talking about life and how I could make positive changes. She always guided me in the right direction. Michalene’s kindness and bright smile brought immense joy to everyone around her. Now, she is in a better place, free from pain. May we all find comfort in the cherished memories we shared with her.
Love Raquel💜

Thank you for loving me through my toughest times, Showing me love through your toughest days, and giving me the best memories of my childhood. I will forever remember when you would give me and my siblings some of your coffee every morning while we waited for the bus. And how you would always have a snack or dinner ready once we get back home. I will always hold on to our every night prays and kisses. Nights you held me when I had nightmares. Mornings you hugged and kissed me to fully wake me up. So many more memories. You were so full of love. You made sure EVERY LAST ONE OF US felt it. Mimi is the true definition of “I will give my last for you”. She will forever be loved remembered and cherished!

The sorrow at Michalene’s passing is not something I can put into words. My prayers and love go out to her family and friends at this most painful and challenging time. What an amazing person and what a remarkable life. A mother’s love is infinite. May you continue to feel her love every day even though she is no longer here with us.
Michalene you gave me so much to remember. From the first day we met on the stoop in Fontana Hall you have been a sister to me. We have stories for days of all the crazy fun we experienced together. Neither time nor distance ever interfered with our friendship and for that I will always be grateful. There are no goodbyes for us. You will always be in my heart.
My song for you is “Scars in Heaven” by Casting Crowns. May the only scars in Heaven be on the hands that hold you now.
Rest in Peace my BFF.
I love you Sis,
Grace
