Michelle was a Special Education Teacher at Sheffield Elementary for the Carrollton/Farmers Branch ISD. She was an avid reader with a love of scary movies after the kids went to bed. She married her soulmate and Gabe’s ‘bonus parent’ Austin, in 2012. Gabe enjoyed spending time with friends and family and playing video games and Dungeons and Dragons.

But neither take this trip as one. They’ve found each other; holding hands They travel into distant lands They fade to black We want them back No one really understands. Rest well, young Gabe. Sleep sweet, Michelle. Say,” See you later,” not “Farewell.” |
