My condolences to the family. Although I only knew Michelle for a brief amount of time I grew extremely fond of her personality, company and quirky humor. I will miss my visits to her office and our talks. She will not be forgotten. --JM

As kids we were inseperable ... like we were placed one house away from each other to be one big family. Memories for a lifetime. She will be loved forever

Michelle and I did not "hang out" but she is one of the most appreciated people in my world. I can't even remember how we met. I'm sure it was through our children. She was so so so good to my Cassie and my Dustin. I did not thank her enough I don't think I ever could. She is one of a kind. So loved. So appreciated and I am happy to have known her.
