May God grant you peace and comfort during your time of need.

Michele was an inspiration to me as a young female geologist and historian. I was glad to have met her in person on several occasions. There was no equal in her knowledge of and passion for the history of science. Our (history of science) community will miss her immensely.

Dear Mark,
Mary and I were shocked and saddened to hear the news about Michele. Our deepest condolences to you.

Dear Mark,
Sending you our warmest thoughts during this difficult time. We enjoyed seeing Michele with you at the gym every morning. You two made quite a team! Let us know if you need anything. We're just a stone's throw away.

Mark,
We are so sorry to hear about Michelle. We remember good times together so many years ago.

Dear Mark,

I was deeply sadden to hear of your loss. What an accomplished scientist Michelle was!

Dear Mark,
Dana and I are so sorry to hear this news about Michele. Besides being among the first to welcome us to Smith in 1973, the two of you provided some valuable, critical perspectives on the institution and its recent history. Michele thereafter remained a laser-sharp critic on all manner of topics and a brilliant historian of science. Know that our thoughts are with you now.

Dear Mark,

I am so glad that we all got to visit this August. What an accomplished, force of nature Michele was. This news hit us hard in Austin. We are all thinking of you. Should you ever care to visit, you have a home here, too.

Dear Mark:

My deepest sympathy. Michele was an accomplished woman whose loss is immeasurable.
