I'm saddened by Michelle's passing. From the time I was a little girl, I always thought Michelle was the prettiest, sweetest person I could know and wished to be like her,but there will never be another Mickey. She was a woman of courage and inspiration. Those who knew her are forever blessed and she will live in our hearts forever. God bless you all.

Bill, Nikki and family,

I am so sorry for your loss! Sean called me when he heard the news. I am in Washington this week and it saddens me that I can't make it to the services. Bill you were a supportive and faithful husband and I'm sure you comforted Michelle when she needed it most.

Nikki...you and your brother are the gifts your mom has given to the world! Live a life that will honor her memory...God has a plan for you! She left you the gift of each other and your family...no one can ever take the connection away!

I will pray for the strength, courage, hope, love and faith that your family will need to get through this. Your mom and Bill your wife...is whole and well and in Gods loving presence...I hope that brings a certain degree of peace!

Love & prayers,

The Brooks Family

Dear Brids and Pettine family,
God saw her getting tired, a cure was not to be, he put his arms around her and whispered "Come to me". With tearful eyes you watched, and saw her pass away. Although you loved her dearly, you could not make her stay. A golden heart stopped beating, loving hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, he only takes the best. You are in my heart and prayers,
