In June of 2017 Michelle went on a family vacation to Hilton Head Island.  During that vacation Michelle purchased a leather wristband and had the words “Live Free” etched into the leather.  Michelle’s life and attitude inspired the young and the old.  Her family adopted the hashtag #LiveFreeLikeMichelle to call to mind Michelle’s attitude and to Live Free.  To have the courage to do what is right and good.
