This is going to sound very strange, but please know your daughter gave me hope. I Googled my own name because I am at a crossroads in life. I have a medical condition and I am dying. I was curious to see the mark I have left on the world, although I am rarely on social media, I try to have an impact on those around me. I came across an obituary for Michelle Lynn at Clayton funeral home. I took this as a sign to investigate further... My name is Michelle Lynn Clayton (although this comment may get listed under an alias Facebook account I have for shopping in Market Place, so I feel i should explain that... Again... Not big on people finding me on social media... I prefer in person interaction). Any way... I read Michelle's obituary and it was almost like reading my own... Or what mine will be. Besides having the same name, we have the same hobbies and lived seemingly similar lives. We had similar personalities and oddly enough looked pretty similar. I just hope that the comments people leave about me, will be as kind and tell stories of an amazing woman helping others like they said about your Michelle. And being in such a dark place like I am right now, I find your Michelle to be inspiring... To be my hope... That there will be light again before I reach the end of my tunnel... And happiness and peace... Because we lived such similar lives that I can only hope that I too will be surrounded with such loving people when I too pass. I am so utterly sorry for your loss... I can feel how strong your love for Michelle was and truly understsnd why you miss her so. My hope for all of you is that you have found peace again... Or can find it knowing that nearly a year after her death, Michelle Lynn is still saving people. Sincerely, Michelle-lynn@live.com

We really wanted to send our most heartfelt condolences to all Michelle's family and friends. RIP Michelle, you were a candle that extinguished way too soon.

I'm so sorry Linda. I cannot even find the words right now.....I love you and please know we're always here for you

I'm going to miss you so much baby girl, you know that I loved you with my whole heart. Kiss grandma for me. Ma, mommy mom as you teased me

Linda, you know how I felt about your Michelle. My heart is broken for you. She was such a smart girl with so much to offer.

Love and condolences.

Michelle you were such an inspiration to me when I was trying to get my life together. Your warm words always touched me and your laughter was intoxicating to all those that heard it. I can hear your laugh now even as I write and know that your with me, with all your family, and with all the people that you have loved. Life is not going to be the same, when I need wisdom I’ll just call out and say ‘hey mama Michelle I need your help” and wait for your laughter to come and I will know your there. You were an amazing human-being on earth and now you get to fly high with the angels. You have helped me so much as I fell and made me get back up when it came to recovery. You are without a shadow of a doubt going to be miss but never forgotten by many. Grandma Linda, Sam, Ericka, and Heather- we are family! Stay strong

I love you mom R.I.P

Lost for words.My thoughts and prayers for your family and friends.Rest in Peace Michelle.

When I first saw this I passed it by, not our Michelle. Saw you go through so much and came out stronger every time. Know how much you'll be missed. Prayers for your entire family. Love you and will miss you. Always in my heart. Rest in peace.
