Not sure what to say?

My heart goes out to Michelle´s family. Michelle was a former colleague of mine at EOCF. I remember her always advocating for children in her care and their families. Her presence with children and their families will indeed have impact on generations to come. I recall when we opened a new early learning site, Michelle was a strong advocate for resources for staff that would enhance learning and play opportunities for children and a gift to the program. She is now shining in glory!

oh, what to say about my dear loving niece Michelle! I know what I want to scream, why and this is not how it was supposed to be. Michelle and I were together every chance we got. More so in our younger years. It didn't matter we always were so happy to see each other. I have the first picture of you and I in the baby buggy. You were 6 months older we laughed about that. We have gone on adventures in Montana, Iowa, and other. We were supposed to get to go to the ocean together in October but...

Michelle always had a smile and a kind word to share. She will definately be missed.

Rest high Miss Michelle. An awesome supervisor, mom and a grandma. Thank you for your support and mentor. I remember one Christmas for some reason she couldn´t visit her grandkids she called me to stop by her place. She handed me a bunch of gifts and said please Anjela drop this at the door for my grandkids. I couldn´t resist the love of a grandma. She loved her kids and grandkids. You were amazing.

Michelle told me that her favorite place to go was anywhere she'd never been. Now she's expriencing the best place imaginable. I told her I am looking forward to the day I get there, and I cant wait for her to show me all her favorite spots. Until then, I will miss her and I'll cherish the memories of 40 years of friendship.

You learn a lot about a person when you share an office. Michelle´s kindness, positive attitude and great sense of humor got me through a difficult transition in my life. I´m grateful for the chance to know her. My thoughts and prayers are with her family and close friends. She will be greatly missed.

So sorry for her early passing but tickled you may see her again IF you´re in His Kingdom, thank you Lord for your precious Michelle. Bless her children & grandchildren with your love and may they not forget her precious memories . Stan & Kelly Job

Michelle from that day we met at EMC, I knew that we were going to be life long friends. Michelle you had a contagious smile and laugh. The strong faith and happiness you carried in your soul, was only few of your amazing qualities. All the children loved you. When we came to visit you at your school house, a child was sitting on your lap as you were reading, we knew this was what you loved most besides being a MoM. You smiled huge as you turned the page. God truly blessed you with...

Michelle, you had such an impact on my childhood. You were the mom I never had. I watched you change so many lives while you were here with us. I can't believe you're gone. I love you Michelle.
