I have sent off my own memories in cards to the family. When we were little and visited, she was never that pain in the butt littler cousin. She was fun, funny, kind. As we grew and our lives separated in distance as well as contact, she would still keep the family laughing and smiling over Facebook. Some of my favourite Facebook chuckles were when Tammy started her own little digital photo album of "When Mike texts and doesn't proofread before she pushes send" ;) I don't think it mattered what kind of day Tam was having, if Mike sent her one of those texts, Tammy seemed to forget everything else but laughter. To have a sister that could be that kind of influence for you ... sigh ... that's a pretty impressive gift that Mike gave Ms. Tammy. In later years, I reached out to Michelle several times to have some much needed conversations about the little nuances of life. She was great because she had NO issues about telling it like it was, whether it was about her or someone we'd be discussing. She'd lay it out there like a beautifully painted canvas on a giant wall. Here's the thing, though ... she never failed to splash colour around any darkness. The black lines in the painting were needed for contour but the elements of blissful colour radiated all across the splashed canvas, too. If she thought someone was a jerkoff for one reason or another, she'd STILL turn around and tell you what she saw in them that was good, too. Not naive, that kid. Not at all. She saw it all. She'd see you trip over a stick, land face first in a mud puddle, hit your head on a rock and she'd still pick you up, dust you off and help you laugh about it ... EVEN if she saw a perfectly paved path off the side that she KNEW you could have taken; even if she WATCHED you avoid the perfectly paved path and head off into those rock ridden, mud puddle soaked brambles. Most people might watch you fall and say, "Your own doing, buddy. You could have picked the tarmac." and leave you on your own. Not Mike. She was there. I might not have talked to her on the phone for fifteen or twenty years before I started reaching out to her again, and she STILL picked up the phone, answered the text, wrote back on messenger. Her circle of influence was wide and her arms big enough to encircle it with a hug. Shelley, I smiled when I read your Donald Duck voice comment cause I haven't heard it in forever but it was so very much a common theme when she was around that the filing cabinet of my mind pulled out the memory in a heartbeat ;)Wanda, it always blew my mind when I'd see pics of you three girls together. Sisters. In your faces, in your styles, in your smart ass, cheeky, delightful words. You are their mom and yet there were so many times you were also their best friend ... in all the good ways. She appreciated you more than all the words in the world ever managed to tell you.Tammy, you've got some killer friends, friends that are more like siblings or sister wives than neighbours or acquaintances. Yet not one of them ever could or ever will fill the hole in your heart that Michelle has left, no matter how hard they tried. You were two very different people on so many spectrums and two peas in a pod in others. I think a total stranger could have seen the two of you within a mile radius of each other and still known you were sisters for the energy that would pass between the two of you.Bim ... DUDE ... no dad EVER expects to hold his little girl in his arms to say hello one day and, less than five decades later, hold her in his arms to say "Rest Easy". There is a piercing heartache a mom will never be able to remove, a missing limb a sister will never be able to stop feeling the absence of ... yet there is also a raging, hollow, ripping, shredded hole when a Daddy loses his little girl and I cannot imagine all the dances your heart is going to play over and over and over again in your memories for the rest of your days. I am so sorry, buddy, so heart breakingly sorry. To Michelle's kids ... you already know so many things in life that you learned from your mother. As you continue to grow, you'll realize in bits and pieces here and there that she taught you more in these short years than a lifetime could have, even. She taught you resilience, fortitude, humour, independence, self preservation, fearlessness, simultaneously how to feel - TRULY feel, how to laugh when you're down, how to get back up again, why family is so important and why you ALWAYS have each other's backs even if you don't always have each other's fronts, how to volunteer and appreciate the incredible village around you that volunteers FOR you (**special shout out to firefighters and EMT's**), what a hometown means and why that's just an extension of your family and you better have their backs, too. Your mom's story lives on in text messages, emails, letters, voicemails, phone calls, photos, memories and more. The world gave your mom a lot of adventure in her years. The best adventure she ever had, though, hands down, was you guys. To the village of Caroline, Alberta ... if the hall at Taylor could place a photo for every person who mourned the day they learned of Michelle Fay's loss, they would need to expand their walls. Your name will forever echo in the streets of that town, Mike, forever and a day. It never mattered how long you were gone for a great part of your heart and soul always remained. That piece of you will never leave. You will forever be remembered as part of a bigger family, a small town community who will always know, for generations past and generations to come, who Mike Fay was. My husband, Lorne, was sad when he heard the news. He commented about what a light you'd been on Facebook, that he didn't talk to you much at all but he looked forward to your posts to lighten his days. His quiet pensiveness after the announcement said more than anything. From our family to yours, Michelle, thank you for existing. Thank you for educating. Thank you for laughing. Thank you for changing the world in your own, unique way with a presence that was always felt when your energy entered a room. Rest easy, Michelle. Rest easy.

All my love and support to my second family....I will forever here my favorite Donald Duck voice everytime I need cheering up. Mike always knew how to make me smile, even when I didn't want to. I will plant a tree for her beside my Dad's plaque near Cut Off Creek this summer. They can ride with the wildies and fish for the big ones together.
