Heart felt sympathy for the loss of Michele. We are so sadden that she has lost her battle, one that she fought so courageously, always upbeat, bright with her lovely smile. She has been such a kind, positive, active, Director on the Board for the Clinton Beach Association for so many years. We were better for having her a part of the Board and for having known her. She will be missed at the beach.

Tim: My condolences to you and yours for your loss. Michelle's parents were stage performers in the Harlequin Club in the 1950s & 1960s with my parents, and my Mom was very close with her mother. I met Michelle at those shows when we were kids and was there at her parents' funeral. She was a beautiful, wonderful person and the world was brighter because of her.

Tim, Marcy & Michael - We are so incredibly sorry for your loss. Words will never express the heartfelt sorrow that we are feeling over our true friend that has left us too soon! We will forever cherish the long walks along the shore, the long conversations at the beach and the many, many fond memories that we will cherish spending with Michele and your family over the past 21 years. I can't speak for my Mom, but I know that she always thought of Michele as family - and the bond they the shared was really special. We are so lucky to have had the opportunity to have her be a part of our lives, and we can only thank you for sharing her with us.

My deepest sympathy to you, Tim, and Michele's sister, brother, nieces and nephew. Michele was such a lovely, kind and considerate friend. I will miss her and our chats on the porch in Clinton and her conversations about her family and travel. Her positivity, strength and diligence was so admirable and she will be missed by all of us.
