TeamBretMichaels.com / LifeRocksFoundation.org Story: Shelley Finds Inspiration In Bret

March 13, 2014 TBMAdmin

In my first letter to you in 2012, I had just returned from your concert appearance in Peachtree City, Georgia. It was one of the most memorable nights of my life. You are a fighter, a champion, and a beautiful talented soul with your passion for helping people and animals. I recall in my first letter, I mentioned I was having health issues and pain, and from what at that time I had no idea, and I could barely get…

TeamBretMichaels.com / LifeRocksFoundation.org Story: Local Hero Presents Bret With Military Honor

March 12, 2014 TBMAdmin

The presentation was made after Bret’s concert in Texas. When I walked up to present Bret with this military flag honor, he had a very serious look and listened very closely to what I was saying.

I gave a short…

I got my husband…

February 25, 2014 TBMAdmin
