Michele's Legacy
Michele's legacy is first and foremost her four children; Jeremy, Trent, Morgan, and Michael. Even through her death she is still providing for her children's future but there is not enough money to replace their loving mother and the important events she will miss in their lives. The "wrongful death case" was settled on June 21, 2005 and the monetary award was put into structured settlements for the children.
Second legacy was a major committment she addressed in an award winning paper she wrote, when she was an Ambassador for the Student Government Association at a local community college. Brief parts of her speech include: "My self esteem and self perception and that feeling of pride that children have in their parents when one is successful have always been my driving force." "I can not say what the future holds for me and my family, but I do know that I will successfully complete my studies and find a meaningful way to give back to my community and those who believed in me." and "Being a single-teenage parent has forced me to understand adversity and what it takes to overcome mistakes and to persevere." Future plans are to check into setting up a scholarship fund at this local community college in "Memory of Michele Wade."
