So sorry to hear this. My heart breaks for you and your family. Wasn't long ago we were sitting on the bleachers. Watching kids practice baseball. Smiling and cheering for Evan.. You will be missed.

I’m so sorry for everyone’s loss. I didn’t know Michele well but I had the opportunity to volunteer with her at multiple occasions at RFS. She always had a smile on her face. May all the wonderful memories help at this difficult time.

I’m so fortunate to know Michele. She was a delight to be around, a fun, kind and open minded lady. It’s hard to believe our workout community and friend gatherings won’t have you here physically but rest assured you will always be in our conversations and happy memories. You’ll always be with us. I hope your family and boys know they have close friends at the ready for a laugh, cry or just hang out.
