The pain, emptiness and sorrow continues. Not only on this day but every day. We continue to keep you in our memories and still try to understand why you were the chosen one this particular night. We miss your energy, enthusiasm and laughter. Our void will never be filled. We cherish our memories of you, we miss your dedication, we miss your loyalty but most importantly we miss you Michelle..... A Firefighter's Pledge I promise concern for others. A willingness to help all those in need. Promise courage - courage to face and conquer my fears. Courage to share and endure the ordeal of those who need me. I promise strength - strength of heart to bear whatever burdens might be placed upon me. Strength of body to deliver to safety all those placed within my care. I promise the wisdom to lead, the compassion to comfort, and the love to serve unselfishly whenever I am called. This poem was found on the internet by an author unknown but there is no doubt that this poem is how Michelle felt and how see displayed herself. Our hearts are still broken, but we will never let your spirit leave us. We miss you Michelle and we will continue to HONOR your memory forever……
