Not everybody can say they "changed a life", but Sr Micki changed mine. Such a loving and giving person will truly be missed.

Micki was my friend and colleague for my 18-year tenure in the English Department at South Dakota State University. She embodied that rare commitment to teaching and learning that showed in every aspect of her life.

I will miss her, and extend my sincerest condolences to her family.
