Brandon - This is Alexi's Lombardi's mom. Brandon, you did something nice for us one time (you know what that is) and you absolutely blew my mind for that! If you are reading this know that we love you hun and are there for you, anytime.
Please stop by so we can give you a hug ok. I just want to say you are one of the nicest young men I've been able to come across and I am so very sorry for your loss.
As you know Alexi lost a sister and I lost a baby in 2004 and I never thought I'd come back from that, but you do, you realize you have life and love that you still have to give. You get through and as each day goes but it gets a bit easier, believe me we know, I have lost a sister young and my mother too, also.
One day at a time Brandon. We love you and god bless you and your sister and family. Please stop by so we can see you ok.
All our love and thoughts to you and your family, Lexi & Jennifer

Dear Grace and Gordon, Words cant express how upset we are for you and your family. When I was a child Michelle would pick me up and swing me around and tickle me . Now to think that she has passed away part of my memories visiting my gramma Lyd on summer st are gone with her . When we would go to your house you would let us hang out blast music . I can just see Michelle now just rapping along on the coach and you cooking chicken cutlets with your husband. I know I will see Michelle at the park across the street from your house again one day . Love Always, Erica and Lydia's little cousin Lilly

Skillman and Good family,
Please know our thoughts and prayers are with you everyday. Your boy Brandon has been such a great friend to my daughter whom was paralized in an auto accident 5 months ago. She wanted so bad to be there for Brandon this week but we were unable to, but you and your family are constantly in our thoughts and prayers. And though the heart stops from all the aching and pain, the soul lives on from all in life you gain. And from what ive been told, Michelle gained so much out of life. God Bless you Brandon and your family.

Michelle's Eulogy
On behalf of the Good and Skillman Families, I would like to thank you all for being here today to share in our sorrow as well as rejoice in our happiness that Michelle is no longer in pain and has joined our Saviour in Heaven.
I met Michelle in late winter of 2003. We started off talking about music, sports, the Station Night Club fire and just life in general. Michelle started coming into the establishment I was managing more and more, just to talk to me. We eventually developed a great repoire and became a couple. We were together for about 3 months before we even went on a real date.
That summer, we used to drive to Lowell from Waltham 2 or 3 afternoons a week. We’d pick up chicken and steak tips for Brandon, Micheala and Grayce. It was the start of what was to become a great family life.
As with all relationships, everything wasn’t perfect. Medical issues sometimes got in the way of life and our loss of Joseph William born too premature to be saved would sometimes put a damper on things, but we overcame those time and time again. Today I’d like to focus on the good times.
As many of you know, it’s usually the little things in life that make it worth while. One of our favorite things to do was our rides to nowhere. We’d just get in the car and go. Nothing but open roads ahead of us, talking about our plans or listening to great music.
Our first New Years Eve together was spent delivering newspapers. We pulled over the side of the road at 11:58, listened to the countdown on the radio, kissed each other and were back delivering by 12:02.
Due to one of the jobs I held, we got an opportunity to travel to many parts of the state. We got to spend 2 months on Nantucket during which time we got to stay in places we had only dreamed about, hotels with the white robes and delicious meals, views of the ocean and backroads that were incredible. Best of all Brandon and Micheala got to spend some of that time with us. We stayed in Pittsfield for a month, worked Worcester, Cape Cod, Plymouth, Fitchburg, Springfield and more.
As some of you know, Michelle’s health was never great. She loved her children so much that she voluntarily gave up custody to her parents for a while because she was too sick to properly raise them.
In 2006, we regained custody of Brandon and Micheala. Michele spent the rest of her life trying to make everything work for us to be a family. Things weren’t always perfect, but she had back the children she loved and a husband who would do whatever was necessary to help her keep them. I swallowed my pride numerous times because I loved the three of them so much.
Michelle’s health started to act like a roller coaster. It was up and down for the last couple of years. Her giving of herself to others and her big heart probably led to her declining health. She convinced me that I needed to take better care of myself. My weight is down over 30 % and previously untreated diseases are now under control. If she hadn’t insisted on me going to Lahey Clinic, I probably wouldn’t have known about my heart condition until after I had had a heart attack. Her insistance probably saved my life.
Our sister-in-law gave birth to a healthy 7lb 3oz baby boy on Tuesday. Michelle was supposed to be the Godmother. While that is not possible now, I’d like to think that God is allowing her to watch over Peyton James as he grows up along with Brandon, Micheala and Cameron.
Michelle was a loving mother, daughter, sister, aunt, cousin, friend and especially wife. This was obvious based upon the outpouring of comments by familly and friends in person and the love displayed on Facebook and Legacy.com.
During the course of the last weeks, we had once again rekindled the romance that had started our relationship. We had a wonderful last night together, eating Dominoes Pizza and watching TV.
Unfortunately the N1H1 flu and a case of rapidly progressing pneumonia proved too much for her weakened immune system and this time she wasn’t able to come back.
In closing, If I had to do it all over again, I would. As Garth Brooks sang in his song “The Dance”:
“And now I'm glad I didn't know,
The way it all would end, the way it all would go,
Our lives are better left to chance, I could have missed the pain,
But I'd have had to miss the dance”
Thank you for listening and Godspeed, Michelle, we will always love and remember you.

Craig and family,

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Michelle I can not believe we have to say good-bye to you this week. When Erica called me it was unbelievable. I will always remember Summer St and our friendship from 5 and up. We shared tears, laughs, hugs, and smiles. Talked about the future, listened to you swoon over Steven Tyler and can still see the posters on your wall. My family was yours and I alwayd felt like yours was ours. Erica and I will, as we do now share the stories of our youth. We will miss you Shelly, and will try to do out best in making sure your kids know how great you were. Grace, Gordy, Craig, and Brad I send my deepest sympathy to you all. As a family stay strong and be poud of the lives she touched.

So, you are gone, but I have some memories to post, anything from Roberts is a memory, with the people we hung around, I have also come up with the craziness when you lived with me in Waltham, short time but crazy and hectic, I wish I knew where to find Kelly from Honduras and tell her you've gone above. I will never forget the day I scared us both when we were in mine and Canilla's car coming up to NH, as we came down that hill right before the main road in my small country town and we hit that curb and managed to pull off a 360 cause it was slick but were able to drive away the snow bank that sucked my trunk in a little. You were a great friend, I am just sorry I found you recently and not sooner. To Bill, your Kids and your family, I'm sorry for your loss, you have my deepest sympathies.
