MICHAELA PETIT Obituary
Happy Sweet 16 Michaela! We all miss you and your sweet smile and disposition every day. We are celebrating your life on the 17th with our first event to honor Women in Science. We know that as you finished 5th grade you liked the Gandhi paraphrase, "You must be the change you wish to see in the world." We are hoping that encouraging more women to enter and remain in fields of scientific study will make the world a better place. The Michaela's 4 O'Clock Flower Project with the CT Science Center is going full steam ahead! Your flowers have been planted in 15-20 states. While you were here you were always smiling and always sticking up for the underdog. We will honor your memory every day.
"Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it." 1 Mark 10:14-15
Love, Dad and the Petit, Hawke, Chapman, and Renn Families

KK Rosebud,
It has been 17 years, 3 months, and 20 days since we last saw each other, hugged and kissed. Miss you every day. You´d be well into your career heading towards your 29th birthday. I miss you so much, love Dad

Remembrance came up on my page today (email). As said before there are no adequate words to say about this awful event. This little girl here Michaela was so beautiful and just a child. I do hope her and her dear sister and Mom were lifted up to Paradise and the cares of this world was replaced for them with joy and happiness. Being a grandmother I think of the grandparents as well as Dr. Petit.

Thinking of you my sweet. You are remembered and so loved, and we will never forget you or the day you left us. You've given us inspiration, and influenced us to make changes and to continue to strive in making the world a better place for all.
Thank you Michaela, for the grace you gave.
Love to you honey,

Michaela, your beautiful life informs how I cherish, love and care for my family. When I think of my daughter, I think she looks so much like you! Your light is in every girl with a strong, bright heart full of hope and love; I am sure I saw your amazing light when I watched her wake this morning. God Bless you, Hayley and Jennifer - never met you, never forget you.

Such a beautifully written memoriam.I am heartbroken that you were taken from this world way too soon, Michaela. I am sure you are among the most beautiful angels in heaven, along with your bigsister and mom. Look after your family from heaven, and one day you will be together with your dad and the rest of your family again, for eternity. I never met you, but reading about your wisdom and kind heart, I will always remember you. Rest in peace, sweet angel.

We love you little girl. If any one of us could have jumped in and helped we would have. Hopefully there is something after this and you and your lovely mom and beautiful sister are holding each other right now.

The 'only' possible words that I would like to say to Dr. Petit and his extended family is that 'on this day, today, your beautiful girls are not suffering/no one is hurting them today.' If Dr. Petit and the family can keep that in mind then maybe they will be able to have a semblance 'life' again

Thinking of you three angels on the 5 year mark of what should never of been.I wish we could turn back time and erase all of this. Rest in peace and bring comfort to your dad
