I am saddened to hear of Michelle’s passing. I worked with her for a short time at Muhlenberg. She was such a wonderful caring person and it was always a pleasure to see her. My thoughts and condolences to her family.

Oh no I am so sad. I met her when I did her grandmothers estate I got to know her mom really well and then did her moms estate and every time I saw her we would give eachother a big hug . I prayed all the time that you would beat this evil word ..I’m sorry you lost the battle. You were an amazing person and I will think about you often. Rip and I will miss your hug . My thoughts go out to your family. Robin from law office

Dear Matt, Melissa & Matthew:
I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your beautiful beloved Michelle.
I will never forget how me met while riding the shuttle at Muhlenberg. We immediately connected and had so many great conversations during the morning shuttle rides from the parking lot to the hospital. Months passed and we were both shocked to see each other at a family reunion picnic to find out we are family—learning Michelle is married to my cousin Matt!

Matt, Melissa, and Matthew,
I am so sorry for your loss. Michelle was one of the kindest and positive people I have ever met. No matter how she would be feeling, when I received that 7 am call that one of the kiddos would be sick she was always so upbeat and positive. To say she was a beautiful soul is just an understatement. I will miss our talks and her beautiful ways. I am grateful to have known her and called her friend. You are all in my prayers and will continue to be.

Whomever said there are no angels on earth, surely never met Michelle. She was living proof of it. What a wonderful, caring and loving person! We are so blessed to have had her in our lives, if only for a short time. She adored her family. She was so proud of her beautiful Melissa and handsome young man, Matthew. I always loved the story of how Matt and Michelle met. She thought the world of him.
You fought the fight might dear friend, now go rest high on that mountain. You will forever...
