To the faimly of Miki,
I found out today about your sweet Micki, and my heart was broken. I am an old childhood friend from Gary. We went to school together and were in BBG together. I hope my sincerce condolence reaches Dean and Jan and all. Just last week I was with Mar. Silverstein. He pull out a bag of pictures and handed me one of a sweet girl about 12 years old and he said, " This was the sweetest, brightest, kindest student I ever had, do you know her"? He was so surprised when I said thats Micky, He knew her as Michelle. We both recalled her sweet smile and twinkle in her eyes and agreed she was an angel. I hope you are all surrounded by love and support. Someone once told me in a time of dispair to gather my strength from what was behind me. I though of the person I lost, and all the strength she gave me and I felt like with her behind me I could find the strength to carry on. I know with Micki behind you all in time you will find the strength you need. I will never forget her. My love to you all.

Our deepest sympathy to Micki's entire family especially her father Melvin. He was a high school classmate of ours back in the 1940's.

I always knew that Micki loved her son so much that she would do anything for him...just like she would any of her friends and family. That's just the kind of person she was. I worked with Micki at DL several years ago - she was one of the very first people I met there, and became friends with. I loved to hear how she dealt with daily life - from the 'dog issues' to rollerblading with David. What can you say about a person who goes out of their way to come to your grandmother's funeral, or brings you a nightgown in the hospital? Micki was a huge influence on my life - and so many others. David, Paul - know that you're in so many prayers right now - but have an angel watching over you.

Love,
Val

I have been conversing with Micki the past month or so as I am to be an exhibitor at the Southern Lady Celebration. I was incredibly saddened to hear of her death as she always brought a smile to my face when I got off the phone with her. That sweet voice just plays over and over in my head when I think of her. She was so sweet and easy to work with and I could tell that she was such a genuine person. I was so looking forward to meeting her in November. My heart goes out to her husband, son, and the rest of her family as well as those that worked with her.

Dear Mel and Jan,
As I was reading the obituaries I was saddened to see that you have lost your beloved daughter/sister,Micki. I just want you to know that you have my very deepest sympathy in this time of sorrow for you and your entire family. But you can rest assured that Micki is at peace and will live forever in your hearts. She will never ever leave you. She will rest in peace knowing that her beloved David will have all of you to love and treasure for all time.
Please pass my deepest sympathy to the rest of the family. Be strong, God will get you through this and one day, you will be reunited with Micki again.
Love, Betty

I had the pleasure of working with Micki at Hoffman Media for the past 3 years. In that time, she became someone that I admired and looked up to. Just being around her put me in a good mood and made my day better. I will miss her sunny smile and enthusiasm for life. I am a better person for having known her. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you.

I was on the beach the day of the accident. I did not know Micki but have not been able to stop thinking about her and her family since then. David was brought to me after he was pulled from the water. My prayers are with this family especially David. May God be with you & your family during this difficult time.

I had worked with Micki for 3 years now at Hoffman Media. In these past three years I have had the pleasure of getting to know Micki very well. Her love for her husband, Paul, and their wonderful son, David were unmatched. The constant smile on her face, and her upbeat outlook on life were contagious to everone around her. She made an impact on my life that will never be forgotten. My thoughts and prayers go out to her entire family.

I had known Micki since the mid-1970's when we both attended Kennedy King Middle School in Gary. I had the good fortune to meet her again in High School when our families moved to Crown Point. Micki was always smiling, always upbeat. She was like a little firecracker! Even though our paths haven't crossed in nearly 30 years, I have never forgotten her and never will. To Micki's family, my deepest sympathy. How fortunate we were to have her in our lives!

Micki has been a part of our lives at Hoffman Media for many years. She was working for us when she and Paul received David into their family. She was always so bubbly and friendly to all. Her laughter was contagious in the office. We will miss her greatly. We pray that God will be with Paul and David and her entire family during this sad time in their lives. Just know that Micki loved you all very much. You made her life richer.

I had the pleasure of teaching David the past two years at Bruno Montessori Academy in Birmingham. David is such a sweet, loving and charismatic individual. His mother's love and devotion to him cannot even be expressed in words. She was always there for him and always encouraging him to work hard and do his best. Michelle's love and outgoing presence will truely be missed. May God guide and bless them through this time of sorrow. I know her spirit will always be with David and her husband. Guiding and directing their lives through all that they do and achieve.

I had the pleasure to work with Micki at Hoffman Media for the past four months. I have never met someone with such energy and excitement for life. Everytime I was around her she always put me in a good mood. Her bubbly personality seemed to rub off on everyone in the office. Even though I only new her for a short time, she has made an impression on me that will last forever. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with your family. I pray that you will find some comfort in this difficult time.

I had the pleasure of working with Micki for a little over a year and a half at Hoffman Media. I have never met a more caring, genuine and positive person. Micki should be an inspiration to all of us for how to approach each day of life just as she did...with a huge smile on her face, thankful for all of the gifts in her life including David, her husband Paul, her family and friends, and life itself! She will be sorely missed by all. My deepest and most sincere condolences to her family.

To all of the family and friends of Michelle Reis I asked God to wrap His arms of comfort around each of you. My family and I were in Gulf Shores this past week fleeing yet another hurricane. I myself do not understand why our prayers weren't answered, why were they not able to revive your wife-mother-friend. The unseen currents were fierce. Everyone who was there on the beach was praying out loud, silently, on their knees or standing up. Praying for the rescue team who was working so hard, praying for this person to just wake up. I hope that comfort can be found by my note here in that knowing she did not die alone with no one around her. We on the beach did not know her but we loved her as a sister in Christ and were with her when
God took her home. With all of our prayers, Carrie Jolet, Kelly Desormeaux, Victoria Desormeaux and Colette Landry.

We are co-workers of Michelle's brother Dean. Just want to say that even though we didn't know Michelle, her death has been felt throughout our company. Dean and family, we are praying that God may give you comfort and strength.

I met Micki many years ago as we were both entering the "motherhood" phase of our lives. Like me, she had a son, who the mere mention of his name caused her face to become illuminated with joy. Micki and I formed a connection over our little boys that spanned 11 years. And although for many years we had unfortunately lost touch, it was a blessing to share a lunch with her in February. Although we knew each other as business associates, the first questions we asked were about our beloved boys. As I write this, I am so thankful to have had an opportunity to share this time with Micki and express my sincerest sympathy to her family, especially to David, who brought her so much joy.

I work with Micki's brother Dean. I had the honor of meeting her on several occasions. What I remember most about her is her vivaciousness & the warmth that shown so brightly in her. Please accept my deepest sympathy.

Micki was a business associate of mine and over the past 3 years we became very close friends. She was one of the most loving, positive, caring people I know. I had the opportunity to spend several nights at her home this past February. I could see then that she was a devoted Mother and wife and always put her family before herself. I will miss her bubbly personality and her friendship. I pray that God will give Paul and David the strength to move forward in their lives with the positive attitude that Micki has set forth as an example. She will be watching over you and know that she loved you and all her friends with all her heart. Lisa Rankin
