I am so sorry to hear this. My deepest sympathy to Michelle's family and friends. She was a talented and lovely person who will certainly be missed. My heart goes out to all of you.
ReplyDeleteSo very sorry! She was a very creative lady!
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to see this post this morning! I started following Michelle's blog shortly before she started talking about her battle with cancer. She was a lovely person with a beautiful talent for decorating. She loved her boys so much and seemed to completely cherish her role as a mother. I will be praying for you all. I pray that a peace that passeth all understanding will be yours at this time. Love, ~ Jamie
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to hear this...I have been following Michelle's blog for quite some time...she was amazing and shared so much of her talent, her family, her life with us.I never met her personally or spoke a word to her personally...but I feel like we were friends. She will be so missed in blog land...she was one of the best. Now my prayers have switched from Michelle...who is in the arms of Jesus...to the family left behind. Just remember...no more pain...no more sorrow...no more tears for Michelle...and I pray that comforts you in the days ahead.
ReplyDeleteGod Bless your family!

ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to hear this......I was often thinking on you, it's a sad notice, I can not to stay there with you but my mind and my prays will be there....God bless you! Carmen.
ReplyDeleteThank you for taking the time to post this sad news in the midst of your grief. Every time I see a picture of Michelle's beautiful décor/DIY/crafts on the internet (which is often), I have wondered how she is doing and would ask God to be with her. Please know that there are so many of us who have never met Michelle but we will miss seeing her creative talents and reading her wonderful style of writing and we care deeply for her family which we have also gotten to know through her posts. I also have a son named Logan and I think especially think of your little guy right now. May the Lord bless you and keep you and give you the strength and comfort you need at this difficult time.

ReplyDeleteI was lucky enough to find Michelle's blog three years ago and never missed a post. I think she was one of the most talented designers on the web. Her photos of projects and her home décor were always sources of ideas for me. I truly admired her so much and feel as if I have lost someone I knew, even though I never met Michelle. I know by sharing her battle with cancer, she helped people that she never knew about. I will miss her dearly and want to sent my heart felt sympathy to her family. I'll keep you in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteI found out shortly after she passed thanks to her sweet MIL posting on FB....what a loss for this world but eternity has gained an angel. Prayers for her family.
ReplyDeleteMichelle touched so many strangers lives through her wonderful and creative blog. One thing is very clear - she loved her family very much so I am sorry for the pain you all are feeling. She gave this horrible battle her best effort but she is now at peace. Through your happy memories I hope you will all find peace as well!! Sincerely, Jeannette

What a wonderful inspiration she was to all of us in the blog world. She will be tremendously missed by us, but I know the void is so great for her family.

ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry. I've loved reading Michelle's writings and being inspired by her creativity -- she was such a beautiful person. My thoughts and prayers are with her family.
ReplyDeleteOur church prayed for Michelle as I entered her name in our book of intentions every week before mass. I truly hoped and prayer for a miracle to happen. She was an incredibly gifted women with unbelievable strength and courage, not forgetting to mention faith.

I am heartbroken to hear this news. I have been praying for Michelle. Her suffering has ended and she is with Jesus. My heart aches for all of you and I praying for your comfort during this dark hour.
ReplyDeleteMy heartfelt sympathies to her husband and children. I was saddened to hear this news. I was so hoping for a different outcome.
ReplyDeleteMy deepest sympathy to all Michelle's family and friends; such sad news.
ReplyDeleteI only discovered Michelle's blog in August and really regretted I hadn't found it earlier. She had such a wonderful writing style, making you feel you immediately knew her and wanted to be her friend. I also felt a connection to her because I live in NC and visit Morehead City frequently. Now, Michelle is in the arms of the Lord, so my prayers are with her husband, sons and other family members. May peace and happiness and good memories be yours.
ReplyDeleteWords can never adequately express the deep sorrow I feel for you and your family. I'm sure the journey has been so difficult and sad. I send you prayers to help you sustain your strength during your time of grief. I trust our Lord will minister His wonderful grace toward you. Thank you for your kindness by letting us know of her passing.
ReplyDeleteWhile it was only through blogging, respect and admiration grew towards Michelle. I will always remember her amazing crafting talent and optimism in times of trial. May God provide her family with strength.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry for your loss...
ReplyDeletepraying for her family and friends..
ReplyDeleteI have thought of her often ... & have checked here from time to time just to make sure I haven't missed something. I am so terribly sad to hear this. I'm glad I 'met' her in the blogging world & will never forget how positive she was during the fight for her life. Prayers coming your way.
ReplyDeleteRest in peace Sweet Michelle! Keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers.
ReplyDeleteThis is so painful, even though I know she has finished the race successfully that we all are still running. Just as those before me have said, though I never met her, she has been a shining part of my life and I have loved her. There has rarely been a day that I haven't lifted her in prayer for a miracle. She has touched so many, many lives in such a positive and faithfilled way. She has glorified God by her life here on the blog and she will be so very missed. I had a very bad feeling on the ninth and was concerned this might have happened. I'm so grateful you let us know, even while you grieve. I send all my prayers and condolences to her family and I do hope you leave the blog up. She shared so much of herself here. He courage, her devotion to God and her family are shown here. She is such an inspiration in countless ways. I'm just not ready to let go yet. Thank you for sharing her with us. God bless you all through Jesus Christ our Savior.
ReplyDeletei am so so sorry for your loss, she was a brave, kind, strong woman who shared so much of her journey. my deepest sympathy to your family...
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to read that Michelle lost her courageous battle with cancer. Even thought we never met I felt like I knew her. She was such a special person and I always enjoyed reading her blog posts. I was so impressed by her talent, but even more so by her incredible strength in facing each day and her incredible love for her family. My prayers are with her family and all those who loved her.
ReplyDeleteOMG, I am SO sorry to hear that she lost her COURAGEOUS battle with cancer. She was a sweet, talented, generous person and will be missed very much. My prayers and sympathies go to her family.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely and special person Michelle was. Even though I never met her, I can tell she was a woman filled with love and light. It is easy to see, in the photos that she posted here on her blog, that she adored her family and lived a life that was happy and fulfilled. To her loving husband and sons, I am so sorry you've lost such a vital part of your lives. I hope that over time, you will be able to think of her and remember the wonderful times you all shared together and not just the heart breaking end of her life. God bless the Edwards family and bring you comfort in the days, months and years ahead.
ReplyDeleteI am so very sorry for your loss. I'm sure you have beautiful memories to treasure. Michelle was an incredible woman and an amazing example of strength. She had a strong faith, loved her family deeply and possessed amazing talents. My heart goes out to all of you.
ReplyDeleteMichelle was my favorite blogger. She was so brilliantly creative. I know I didn't know her in person but I felt connected to her and will feel her absence. Her faith through her fight against cancer was inspirational. She fought the good fight of trusting in the Lord. I'm so sorry for your loss and I will continue to pray for you all when I think of Michelle - which has been and will be often. I'm thankful for her faith and knowing that I will get to meet her in the next life. My deepest sympathy.
ReplyDeleteTo Elaine MIL thank you. This I know was what Michelle wanted her followers to know. To her sweet husband whom she loved dearly: I have prayed daily for you too as I do believe your strong shoulders bore a heavy load that Jesus says Come unto Me all you who are weary and heavy loaded and I will give you rest.. . To Michelle's sister, how she loved you and wrote about you to me and how happy she felt to have you near...oh For Keegan, she sent a photo of you the day you got your license!! And I pinned it on a board in my kitchen so I'd pray daily for you this fall...and for Logan...she sent your silly face picture with her! It was fun to have fun with Mom. And I've prayed every day too. Keep going to Sunday School and church--that's what she told me she wanted--and never forget that lots of people are praying for all of you. And where two or three of us are gathered in Jesus Name He is here with us. Know the prayers for you will continue during the days, months, and even years ahead.
ReplyDeleteGwen,
DeleteThank you so much for being a friend to Michelle; she enjoyed your correspondence, We were all together the day after you made this post and I read it aloud. Your kind words were appreciated.
I'm deeply saddened to hear of Michelle's passing, my deepest sympathy to her family..
ReplyDeleteI am so very sorry for your loss. I truly enjoyed Michelle's blog and the inspiration she gave. I will be praying for your family!!!
ReplyDeleteMy heart breaks for Michelle's family and friends. I will continue to pray for all who are touched by Michelle's passing.
ReplyDeleteI stumbled into Michelle's blog and was ever so delighted to follow her , especially since I am from Missouri too! She shared some heavenly light on our earth bound lives and will be missed. My prayers for comfort go out to her family.
ReplyDeleteWhat a blessing Michelle was to the blogging community. I have followed and enjoyed her blog for a long time, and her writing, photography and joy of life were a ray of sunshine in a hard world. Sending lots of love and prayers to your family at this most difficult time. She will be remembered fondly.
ReplyDeleteVery sorry for your loss. I enjoyed Michelle's blog. It is so kind of you to share during this very sad time.
ReplyDeleteThank you for posting this. I had a feeling things weren't good when there was an absence of posts. I am so sorry to hear this. Although we never met, Michelle and I shared many private conversations about cancer. I am 43 and lost my husband a year ago to cancer while going through breast cancer myself and my best friend going through it also. I know what you are going through. Keep her spirit alive through happy memories. The kids will get their strength through you. It is the absolute worse thing in the world to watch someone you love so much suffer from this dreadful disease. To stay positive we always say my husband didn't lose his battle he had a "VICTORY" over life. The word victory is now symbolic of my husband. Michelle's life was VICTORIOUS! She was a beautiful person with a beautiful soul. May she rest in peace with no more suffering. Look for signs from her. They will be everywhere. God Bless! XO
ReplyDeleteI am truly sad and so sorry to read this. Michelle was one of the sweetest people on earth. Her willingness to share her talent, family and home with readers of her blog was always amazing. I pray that you all will have strength needed to go forth. She will be with you whether you know it or not and I pray for peace for all of you. Please know that she will not be forgotten and she will be missed. Mary From Virginia
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to hear this. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad time. Rachel
ReplyDeleteSuch a loss to this world. I grieve with you all (her family) and took some time this morning to go back through some of my favorite blog posts of her's. I never met her in real life but she touched my life in ways that many IN my real life have never come close. I wish for peace for all those she touched as we enter a new chapter of life with Michelle deeply nestled in our hearts, minds and souls.
ReplyDeletePeace.
I am so saddened by this. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
ReplyDeleteI am so saddened by this. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet, beautiful person the world has lost. Thank you for sharing this and for sharing her with us.
ReplyDeleteWith thanks, Emily
My heart is filled with deep sadness as I write this. I knew when I saw Sweet Something Designs in my inbox that this was the end of the very long road that Michelle, her husband, children and friends have been traveling. I hope that you know that countless people have been praying for all of you. Michelle amazed me with her ability to move forward and send posts...and how I have missed them...She was a fighter and I am thankful that I was able to spend time with her and her designs, news of the family and her long battle through her site. God be with you all, and I thank our Loving God that Michelle is nestled in his arms. With Love and Respect, Kaal
ReplyDeleteI was so very sad to learn of her passing from her sisters posts on FB. I too will think of her every time I see her beautiful work on Pnterest. What a beautiful loving person. The family should be so proud to have had her as long as they did. Wish I could have met her. I would have been honroed. I know she gave one Hell of a fight for her boys. My heart is very heavy.
ReplyDeleteBest Wishes from Mt Hood Oregon and Thank You!
Michele MM
Heaven has gotten a awesome new Angel.
ReplyDeleteShe touched many,many lives and we are all so very thankful for her allowing us to follow in her fight. She never backed down and she never gave up. My heart goes out to her most wonderful family. Please know that she loved ya'll more than anything in this world, she now will be a guiding light from heaven for each of you
I commented yesterday but had to come back today. I cried and prayed last night. I was thinking about how very courageous she was during her fight, and I was always amazed that she continued to do what she loved - making things around her more beautiful - even through the most difficult of times. She truly is an inspiration to me in SO many ways. She had a decorating style that few possess. She was very gifted. She will certainly be missed in the blogging community.
ReplyDeleteI a so sorry to hear this. I started following Michelle just this past September and was so inspired I went back and read everything from the beginning. I think I was even more intrigued because I grew up just outside of Kansas City. We Missouri girls have to stick together you know. Even though I never got the chance to meet her I can see she was a very talented and sweet lady. My prayers are with you and your family.
ReplyDeleteMy heart is broken for this lovely lady. Sending prays for her sweet family. She will be deeply missed.

ReplyDeleteYour wife/mother was a wonderfully talented, strong and courageous woman. Your loss must feel immeasurable. And yet; your life has been immeasurably blessed by having had her with you for the time that you did. She touched many lives with her willingness to share the beauty she saw in this world; and to create beauty around her. We, her blogging community, will miss her. Saying prayers for your family tonight.
ReplyDeleteWhat an inspiring example of love, unselfishness, courage, grace, and much more she was to us even though we never met her. Her passing leaves a hole in many hearts. Love to all who knew and loved her.
ReplyDeleteMy deepest sorrow for your loss. I just found Michelle's blog very recently…..I grew up in Joplin. I was very drawn to her blog and her love for her husband, boys, home and her Lord Jesus. I have been praying fervently for y'all in recent days. I know the Lord has been prompting me to pray for you.
ReplyDeleteDear Lord, please be with this hurting family. May they rest in Your comfort & peace. Jesus, may You be the grace sufficient they need to meet each moment of each day. Please be their strength in this time of difficulty, for when we are weak You are strong. Father be their comfort. May they draw near to You that You might draw near to them. Please God, be all they need You to be. In the powerful Name of Jesus, Amen. God bless you. Draw near to God in these days and the days ahead, that you might be close to where your precious loved one is….in the presence of Jesus in glory. May all your Hope be in Christ, Dawn Bridges

My heart goes out to the family - hold on to those memories nice and tight, she will always be watching you and you are never alone xxx

I am so sad to hear this news. Prayers to Michelle's family.
ReplyDeleteAs one of Michelle's blogger friends, I have posted a tribute to her on my blog. If you care to read it, here is the link.
ReplyDeletehttp://thingsthatarelovely.blogspot.com/2014/01/my-tribute-to-michelle-edwardssweet.html
I think I may speak for many of Michelle's readers when I say that I hope you will leave her blog on-line for a few months or longer. Those of us who loved her design and came to love her as a person while reading about her courageous battle; may find inspiration looking through past posts and photographs. It's sort of a blogger's equivalent to reminiscing over a family photo album. Blessings to your family.
I appreciate you for honoring Michelle with a tribute post.
DeleteThank you.
So nicely put Debora! I too loved Michelle though we never meet in person.
DeleteI just read about Michelle on Debora's blog (comment above) and I'm so very sorry to learn of her passing. She was a beautiful person, inside and out.
ReplyDeleteI cannot believe I missed this news....I found out thru Focal Point Styling Blog. I send all my love and prayers to the her husband and children and extended family. I loved reading her post and learned and felt her strength thru her words.
ReplyDeletePraying for your whole family during this difficult and sad time. I have come to think of Michelle as my online friend in Jesus - saying prayers for her often as God brought her to mind. May you all be comforted in the truth that she is in all perfect peace with Christ now. All pain, illness and sadness are gone. What a blessing to have the true hope of Heaven! Love, Heather
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to hear this news. So, so sad.

ReplyDeleteMy heart is so very broken for your loss, Michelle is one of the most talented ladies I've every 'met' she inspired me with her grit and love of spray paint, she gave me courage to look at things differently than what they first appeared. I pray for your family, that the boys will always have beautiful memories of their mom and that the pain will ease for you all. I am so so sorry for the loss of this beautiful person.

You have inspired so many of us with your creativity and sweet spirit. You will be missed by this community. Hoping you are having fun decorating your mansion in heaven!
ReplyDeleteGood bye sweet Michelle. I've enjoyed every post, every design, every idea that you shared. Thank you for sharing your life, your family, and your talent. Love to your family. Thank you for your inspiration.
ReplyDeleteI feel devastated right now. I can imagine the loss for your family. She gave it her all to fight to stay with all of you. Her body is at rest now but her spirit lives on, I feel it on her blog. Her gifts she shared her touched so many of us and she won't be forgotten. To read her writing on her makes me cry. She so wanted to beat that beast and live. We all don't know why the timing of things like this happen but when they do it's hard to wrap around the brain why. But I pray for you, her family, as so many of us are. She was as she titled her blog, a Sweet Something. She had talent in spades and a love of things that ran deep but the deepest was for her family.
ReplyDeleteMy sincere, deepest condolences. I will miss her writing, her photography and all her designs. She will always be loved and missed and thought of. She was unforgettable.
Hugs,
Kim
I am so sorry for your loss. Michelle was incredibly sweet and talented. She will be missed. Keeping your family in my thoughts and prayers!
ReplyDeleteI am Michelle's husband. I thank all of you for your kind posts; they mean a lot to me and our family. If it were at all practical for me to respond to each of you individually, I would. I appreciate all of you.
ReplyDeleteThank You.
My deepest sympathy goes to you and your family. My heart goes out to you. Peace be with you.
ReplyDeleteI just found Michelle's blog via Pinterest. My heart fell when I uploaded the final post. I'm so, so sorry. What a beautiful wife you had. And a beautiful legacy. I'll be making her sparkly Christmas wreath and thinking of your family.
ReplyDeleteI keep checking in, looking for the kitchen update. I often wonder about you, your sons . . . I purchased several items from Michelle's Etsy shop, and being the generous, warm person she was, there was always a little something extra tucked into the carton. Along with a handwritten note of appreciation. I still have one of those notes, and even though I do not know you or your family, I always say a short prayer for your comfort.
ReplyDeleteI recently found Michelle's blog. I wanted to comment so many times when she talked about cancer. I wanted to tell her that I understood what she was going through. I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer three years ago. I will have cancer for the rest of my life.
ReplyDeleteThank you for keeping her blog up. She was a beautiful and talented woman who loved her husband, children, MIL and sister. Her MIL blessed me in how she was a mom to her. I am still praying for all of you. I'm so so sorry for your loss. I'm glad you know Jesus. I know it's been five years now but it still hurts. Love and prayers for all of you. Love, Lisa
I just stumbled across this blog through Pinterest, and after reading some of the more recent posts, my heart sank when I read what happened. I wanted to offer my sincerest condolences to your entire family. What a beautiful person she must have been <3
