Michelle L. Birdsong, 43, and Walter E. Birdsong Jr., 62, died in Rankin County, Mississippi, after a Friday afternoon incident near the 1400 block of Monterey Road.

Michelle L. Birdsong was remembered with Walter as the community mourned two lives lost in a deeply painful family tragedy.
Details regarding memorial services, obituary information, and funeral arrangements will be announced later by family members.
