Dear Lord in Heaven, there is a special angel coming your way. Her name is Michelle Leigh Cleveland, born April 27, 1996 in Tift County. Michelle was a student at Crisp County Middle School in Cordele.
We will be sharing our love by having visitation on Wednesday, December 10, 2008, from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. at Bowen-Donaldson Home for Funerals. Funeral services will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Thursday, December 11, 2008, in the Chapel of Bowen-Donaldson Home for Funerals with Rev. Nathan Grier officiating. Burial will follow in Irwinville City Cemetery.
She has many who loved her including her mother, Melissa Cleveland of Tifton, her father and mother, William and Martha Cleveland of Cordele; sisters, Ashley Cleveland of Cordele, Jennifer Rowell of Moultrie; brothers, William L. Cleveland of Tifton and William H. Rowell of Tifton; grandparents, Minnie and Ray Dorman of Omega and Gene and Fran Norman of Albany and Joann Dorsey of Tifton; her special aunt, Ruth Burke of Arabi; and other aunts, uncles and cousins.
Yes, Lord, you have called our angel home, but please understand why it will take a couple of days for her arrival. She is busy helping us to get through this difficult time. So, when she does arrive, heaven will be a brighter place, just as our world will be dimmer.
