Went Christmas Shopping!!!!

December 6, 2001

This week has been fabulous! I have felt like a “big girl”, because for the first time in 9 weeks I drove a car all by myself! I think I am actually healing from my surgery and it feels so wonderful to finally feel good. Today I drove to the doctor to get my blood checked by myself and then went Christmas shopping and out to lunch. It felt amazing!!!! It was fun getting dressed in normal clothes and even wearing my boots for the first time this winter. Right now, life is good and so I will enjoy it while I can. :-)

Aunt Michele,

You look so beautiful! I am so happy that you are feeling well, and that you are feeling happy.

Love,

Donna and I keep you in our prayers daily. If we can ever be a "stage stop" for anyone traveling through Cedar City, please know we have room. All our love, the Stephensons

Michele's Current Status

Michele's cancer was first diagnosed as Ovarian Stage IIIC - but after surgery was upgraded to Stage IV. Her surgery (Oct. 3, 2011) was very extensive, as the cancer had metastasized to other areas in the abdomen. She had a radical hysterectomy, 5 1/2 inches of the bowel taken out, plus her spleen, and 2 1/2 inches of her diaphragm.

After multiple rounds of chemotherapy the Ovarian cancer returned in full force earlier in 2014. Michele's health continues to decline and on July 23, 2014 she was placed under Hospice care in the comfort of her home. Despite being near the end, she continues to inspire those around her.

I'm A Mormon!

I'm a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I know that Jesus is the Christ, and that he personally died for me. I know that he not only suffered for my sins, but also my pains, which means so very much to me at this point in my life. I know my Heavenly Father loves me and knows me personally. I know he has a plan for me and watches over me. I have a testimony that Joseph Smith is a true prophet and was divinely called by God to translate the Book of Mormon. I love the Book of Mormon. It is another testament of Jesus Christ. I have read it and taught it throughout my life and the more I abide by it's teachings, the happier I am. I know that we have living prophets today, just like we did in the Old Testament. I believe and honor those prophets just like I do the living ones today. I know that Thomas S. Monson is God's prophet, just like Moses and Abraham of old. He has been called to lead us in these last days before the Savior returns for a second time. I'm grateful for the knowledge that families can be together forever!
