“To ‘Live Free’ is to honor Michelle by imitating the goodness she brought into the world around her. I see this as being joyfully you and bringing the joy of being in the moment to every single person you come in contact with. It is carrying light and love into every corner of your day and finding ways to lift up others that you meet on your journey through life. I remember Michelle always finding a way to make me feel included and seen at the swim club, whether she asked how I was doing or invited me to play a game with her, she found a way to lift me up and make my day that much better. This is what living free means to me. It is living with nothing but the best intentions for others, living authentically, and living as a light to all in my life. Living like Michelle.”
