So sorry to hear of Michelle's passing. All three children attended Neighborhood House at one time, and that is where I first met them. I remember Michelle working with us for a short time as well. Such a kind and caring person. Sending hugs to her children. -Ms.Michelle

We are deeply saddened at the passing of Michelle. She was a good friend and an incredible person. I so enjoyed working with her- she was caring, kind, always thinking about others (especially the children, firm but loving to them) a great sense of humor and had a positive outlook on life. She will be truly missed.

Michelle always had a smile that radiated, she meant more to us than she knew. Having her in our home for a period of time brought our home alive . playing all kinds of card games at night we especially remember her sliding down our hallway in her socks, she was hysterical! We will miss her sweetness, kindness and joy she spread to all. we will love her forever

Riley and family,
I am very sorry for your loss. Michelle was a one of a kind educator who went above and beyond for the students on a daily basis. She will be greatly missed by all her colleagues and all who she touched throughout her years as an educator. RIP my friend and colleague, always know that you did make a difference.

To Michelle´s entire family,
I´m so very sorry, Michelle was the sweetest, kind and caring person I know. I had the privilege of working with her at Seward before she went to Herman. The smiles she would put on our students faces everyday is immeasurable. She will forever be an angel to them and you all. Rest sweetly my friend
