Rachel Whiteside Obituary

Cliff and Mary Ann, It was late last year that I was able to spend some time on the phone with Michelle. We talked for some time and I was catching her up on how things were going here in Rock Hill. She sounded so happy and content with everything in her life now. I was so elated to hear about Tyler. It has been some time since I saw him and was surprised to hear about the things he was doing now. I just had to send you my sympathies once I heard about Michelle's death. I am truly sorry to hear about this and quite frankly a bit shocked. My prayers are with you and Mary Anne and the great comfort is that you and I both know that she is absent from the body but present with the Lord. May the Holy Spirit give you peace and comfort in this time.
Doug and Sandra Niday (Rock Hill, SC)

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Mr.and Mrs. Heath,
Your family is in my heart and prayers in this time of great change. I am fully convinced that our Lord is with you every step you make in the coming days.

Dear Cliff and Maryanne,
Your family is in our prayers, especially Tyler. We have such fond memories of Michelle back in RH. It seems like only yesterday! Loss is never easy, but we have the comfort of knowing that God as Man on earth experienced all the pain and suffering we do. He never changes. It is us who gradually change and from our intense sorrow to loving memories and thoughts of that great reunion in the sky!
All God's love and ours,
Ted and Michelle Spitz

I was so shocked and saddened to hear about Michelle's passing. She was always smiling and was a joy to work with. My deepest sympathies are with Cliff, Rebecca, and your family.

I didn't know Michelle outside of her office but I am truly saddened by her sudden passing. Each time I met or talked with Michelle she was a very kind, compassionate and thoughtful person. She truly made an impression on me. I often thought of her. Wished I had known her outside of work. I bet she would have made a wonderful friend. I am very sorry for your loss.

Tyler, Our thoughts and prayers are with you. We know God will give you strength and peace. We love you!
Caleb, Bryson and Andrew

My thoughts and prayers have been with all of you during this very difficult time. All of you know how much I love your family and Michelle has always been such a special friend. Michelle was such a beautiful person! I am so sorry that I was not able to attend the services. My Mother has been very ill. I will keep Tyler and all of you in my prayers.

My fondest memories in life were spent with Michelle. I loved her as a sister. She was a great inspiration to all that knew her. My prayers are with you all.

Tyler, you and your family are so very special. My heart breaks for all of you as you try to handle the incredible loss of your mom, Michelle. Even now, I can see her sweet smile and beautiful face and gentle spirit. May God's strong loving arms comfort your entire family and remind you of the great peace she now has in His presence. She loved greatly because she knew she was greatly loved.
With many tears and much love,
Cindy Campbell

Michelle has gone too soon. We will miss her gracious smile and gentle, very kind nature. God bless to all her family and especially Tyler. Words cannot express our sorrow and please accept our deepest sympathy. Art & Eva Rutiri (Seagate)

Words fail me. Please know that you are all in my prayers. I pray that you will feel the strength and comfort only the Holy Spirit can give.
With much love,

I DID NOT DIE

Do not stand at my grave and weep:
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the gentle autumn's rain.

When you awaken in the mornings hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush of,
quiet birds' circled flight.
I am the soft stars
that shine at night.

Do not stand at my grave and cry:
I am not there. I did not die.
