Michelle passed away in 1984 but she one way she lives on is through her tissue and eye donation. Even though she was just 13 years old when she was taken from us, she was a big advocate for donation and was watching from heaven when her brother Sean received a liver transplant in 1988. Last June my son named his first child after his sister. Nadia Michelle Staley is now eight months old and is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.
