Michelle, I'm taking care of Bart's name plaque that you had above his stable for you. It's hanging in my office so you are close in my heart every day. I miss by best-friend. I'll come see you in March when I'm in Clovis.

Mom, it's already been just over a month since you left us. It's gone by so fast yet feels like forever since I've seen you. The most overwhelming part of this so far is thinking how I have the rest of my life to live without ever seeing or hearing or being able to talk to you again. It's too long to go without my mom. You were everything! I know there was a part of you that had been ready to leave this earth for some time. The physical pain you lived with kept you from so much. I'm so sorry...

THANK YOU all so much for the beautiful entries & sentiments! Your kind words continue to bring comfort to all of us! Please keep 'em coming! XOXO

This is my second message. My first message was mistakenly ended too soon In my frustration I could hear Michelle laugh and feel her comforting arm around me I saw that sparkle in her eyes and she softly said "That's okay try again." Then it hit me. that's it! Of all Mitsi's wonderful qualities it was her ability to make us/ me feel at ease. A sense of calmness and love, her encouragement, That's what I'll miss. She had such an insight into people and her acceptance...

I was blessed to work with Michelle at Clovis Community Hospital in the Labor and delivery unit. Her sense of humor truly made a tough shift much easier to get through!! Always appreciated her willingness to share her knowledge without making you feel intimidated Also was blessed to work with 2 of her daughters on the unit!! My prayers continue for the family during this difficult journey With love, Peggy

My heart goes out to Ron and the girls. My heart is broken. I loved Michele, her stories, her kindness, and her sense of humor. She gave me stories to tell and other things I share to this day. I'm glad she and Bart will be together again. I've continued to watch over CR but feel he is truly in excellent hands. May she finally fine peace and rest.

I was so lucky to have Michelle as my preceptor when I started working at Clovis Community Hospital in 1990! She was brilliant, compassionate, and an expert nurse. I learned so much from her as a nurse and as a person. She had a wicked sense of humor and was always up for some fun!! I have also fallen in love with her daughters who share her energy and spark. They are her wonderful legacy. Wishing all of you peace and love during this sad time.
