Michaela was great. She worked for me for 15 years. Her skills in the office were considerable, but outweighed by her warmth and kindness as a human being. I was blessed to have Michaela in my life. Deepest sympathies to her family. Tim Price

I was shocked and grieved to learn of Cayla's passing. She made a huge impact on so many that she touched, and I only hope that in some way I contributed to her life as well. I always thought we'd meet again, but we never did. So, even in passing she has taught me the importance of not delaying reunions with friends and loved ones. My condolences to Gloria and her family and to her friends.

I worked with Michaela for about 15 years at the law firm of Price and Price. While we were not always the best of friends, I admired her loyalty to Tim and her ability to
get things done. Rest in peace dear Michaela.

Our sympathy and condolence to Michaela's sister Gloria whom we never met and to her family.
We were shocked and saddened to learn of Michaela's passing. It had been a few years since I had bumped into her and had no idea that she was sick. I always enjoyed being with Michaela and am so sorry to know she is gone. When I think of her, it is her warmth, good humor and quirky intelligence that I remember. Evie (her -sister-in-law) and Bob
