    Hola a todos. Soy Mindy, la primera nieta de la familia Michel. Aunque no pueda estar allí presente, mi corazón y mis abrazos acompañan a toda la familia hoy.
    Guardo recuerdos muy especiales de mi abuelo Marshall en mi corazón. Nunca olvidaré cuando tenía 12 años y me llevó al campo de tiro, ni la alegría de contar con su presencia y la de la abuela Betty en mi fiesta de quinceañera. Siempre sentí su amor en cada llamada telefónica y en cada cumpleaños y Navidad.
    Hoy celebró su vida y su historia. Abuelo Marshall, gracias por tenerme siempre presente en tus pensamientos. Te quiero y que descanses en paz.

    Hello everyone. I am Mindy the first grandchild of Michel Family, Even though I can’t be there, my heart and hugs are with the whole family today.
    I hold very special memories of my grandfather Marshall in my heart. I will never forget when I was 12 years old and he took me to the shooting range, nor the joy of having him and Grandma Betty at my Quinceañera. I always felt his love in every phone call and every birthday and Christmas.
    Today I celebrate his life, his history, Grandfather Marshall, thank you for always keeping me in your thoughts. I love you, and may you rest in peace.”
