I am shocked and saddened to hear of Michelle's passing. I am comforted because I am one of the lucky ones whose life was touched by Michelle. We had so many memories when we were younger and so many treasured conversations as we grew older but our friendship was much more then just friends she was a sister to me. Michelle "Mike" I will miss you girl so much. RIP Michelle - Much Love Always

We send our love to all of you. Michelle was an amazing woman and wonderfully supportive to our daughter Kacie and Hank. Hank will never forget all the time he spent with Grandma Michelle. We will make sure your memory lives on for him.

Every time I saw Michelle I got a big smile and "How are you?" Such an upbeat person and so easy to visit with, we'll miss her. I feel for the family since I know she was their cheerleader, whether it was the kids school, skating or Tom's work, she was there to help them along. I'm sorry I'm not in Alaska to see her off. Bye, Michelle :(

A great person, a wonderful advocate for all children, a strong and beautiful woman. A mother who gave to her children unselfishly. There simply not enough that I can say about how special Michelle was. She will be missed by many. Condolences to those she held so close to her heart.

Tom and Family,
I am so very sadden to have heard about your loss. I will miss Michelle ( my friend Mike ) very much. My memories of our time together in our youth will always warm me, Michelle and the Rivers family was my second home !
I know that Michelle's wonderful strong personality is still present in her children and her presence will be with you all forever and that in time you will remember her and your times together with less pain and more joy.
My love and sympathy to you all, I will always remember and treasure my friendship with Michelle.

I met Michelle at the hockey rink when our boys played hockey together. We spent many hours at the rink and traveling with the boys team and during that time we became wonderful friends. After our boys were done with hockey we spent a lot of time talking about our grandchildren. I will always remember how much she loved her family, loved watching both kids play hockey and there isn't anything in the world that she wouldn't of done for them. When her grandson arrived, she adored her role as Grandma and he was the light of her life. Michelle was a wonderful friend to many and I will miss her dearly. Tom, Mike and Sadie, our hearts are broken for you. Please know that we are lifting you in prayer during this difficult time.

I am sorry for your loss. I remember Michelle as the "ultimate hockey mom" as her tribute mentions. She was team manager of a couple of the teams my son was on. I always enjoyed visiting with her at hockey games over the years.
