Michelle was a bright corporate executive whose memory astounded her friends. She liked trivia, especially dates, and could often tell us not only who played in the neighborhood tennis tournament years ago, but the exact day of the week and score! She complimented others on subtle skills she noticed and loved to connect people based on small details about their lives. She used her sharp mind to lift up others.

Michelle followed Peter’s guidance, “add to your faith goodness, and to goodness, add knowledge.” She listened to biblical talks and read spiritual testimonies so regularly that she was always prepared to help others see themselves as God does.
