I didn't expect so many people to come! The entire room filled up, people were sitting outside the room on the floor, in the doorways. Many people loved Michelle, and you could tell. They honored her with Thai dance and music performances. I even gave my little speech that I had saved for the Pas Une Auction art show I couldn't get in to. I don't know where my strength came from...I didn't really choke or anything. I was really nervous though, once I finished I had this tingling sensation that I felt in my pinky and ring fingers as if my blood was ignoring circulation in certain areas to help support my heart.
It is sad that a lot of us have to go our separate ways but Michelle brought us all together this time. I felt so much love among us. And of course we had food after.
The last memorial event at the temple is Tuesday, July 28 at 7:30 pm. Fremont Thai Temple : 36054 Niles Blvd. Fremont, CA
On Saturday is her real funeral. I think I might be playing guitar and Lalida's singing. We'll see.
