Michelle is and will always be a spark of light for those who knew her. She had an open, honest and loving heart.

Therese and I were heartbroken to learn of this tragic news. It seems like yesterday that our Mary Kate and Michelle were scurrying along the parking lot of St John's School. The Lord's plan is such a mystery,especially when we lose someone so young and important to us. Words cannot adequately convey our sorrow for you and your extended families. I spoke briefly with Mary Kate and she too feels so incredibly sad that her classmate has passed away. Despite time and distance we embrace the bonds of our St John's family and offer prayers that the Lord will comfort you in your irreplaceable loss.

So sad to hear this news, I will always remember the amazing smile Michelle had and her ability to light up an entire room. All of us who shared time with her at Forman we better off for it.

The years melt away in moments like this and all time is the present. It it hard to know that a family who has brought so much happiness to so many now faces a moment of great sorrow. The best of the love and friendship your family has inspired in others falters in finding a voice. Perhaps in this the angels can help. Even so my heart cannot help but to yearn to offer a wish for peace and condolence for you and your family. May you be surrounded by a wide circle of family and friends and may you find peace in the song of the angels.
