They say to have a friend, you must be a friend.  That's why so many hearts are broken because Michelle was a friend to many.   She never met a stranger and could instantly light up a room with her vivacious personality and spirited laugh. There was nothing she loved more than Jesus and her family.  This morning as she ran to one, she had to say goodbye to the other.  She leaves behind the love of her life, Chadwick Dale Cargile; her three beautiful children, Matthew Riley, Noah Bryce, and Kelcie Elizabeth; her loving father- and mother-in-law, Jim and Della Seadler; her siblings, Becky Oden, Debbie (Myrtis) Fallin, Darrell (Gail) Bowers, Gary (Shelia) Bowers, Ronnie (Sherry) Bowers, Brenda (Billy) Glover, and Tracy (John) Griffin; her sister-in-law, Kim Parker; and host of nieces and nephews. Michelle is reunited in Heaven with her parents , The Reverend and Mrs. Curtis Bowers (Dorothy ) and her father-in-law, Clark Cargile.

We are all better and stronger for having known Michelle. She was an example of living in faith, joy and belief. Her favorite scripture was Philippians 4:13, " I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. "  God blessed Michelle with enormous strength these past seven years as she fought cancer time and again.

Well done, beautiful girl, run to Jesus and rest in his arms.  Heaven will be even sweeter with your laughter.
