Dear Mike and the Kellerman/MacLachlan clan
I want to assure you that I join my prayers with yours on the all too young death of Michelle. God does not work on the same calendar as we do and her work on earth was completed. May each of you know the closeness of the Lord in these times of very painful loss of a loved one. May she delight in the special place the Lord has prepared for her.

To the MacLachlan and Kellerman Families –
My thoughts and prayers are with you forever. Michelle touched so many with her kindness and friendship. I have great memories of fun times on 55th Terrace, at STA, seeing Michelle waving from Seigfreid’s VW, having my hair cut on Buena Vista while Bon would make truffles, and many more. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to all of Michelle’s family & friends – in KC, NY and beyond. Thanks, Michelle for sharing your life with us.

Hi Bonnie, I just wanted to say that I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. I understand you lose as I lost my brother 15 years ago so may God hold you in the Palm of his hands. You and Michelle had an unspoken beauty and kindness about you.

To the Kellerman Family, I am so sorry for your loss. Michelle was a very special person. I can still hear her laughter. We share a great grandmother and more. I still carry hair from my sons first hair cut Michelle gave him. I loved her spirit and her friendship. She will be deeply missed.

On a Sunday like today some of us would hang out in Loose Park; you could find our group by listening for her laughter. Only a fool would challenge her to a game of pool at Pretzels. Most notably, she was just fun to be around.
