I am deeply saddened by the news of Michele's passing. She was my respiratory clinical instructor back in the late 1980's. I always loved her and her humor. I learned so much from her and will remember her with fond memories.

Sheri, I was so sorry to hear of all that Michele has been thtough. I know she is no longer afflicted. You both can have peace now. Michele was a wonderful friend, compassionate & caring soul. I remember visiting you both when Jessica was a baby & how you guys were so worried when Kristi (only 5 at the time) walked to Johnnies from your place alone to get us donuts! You loved my girls & they love you. Sheri don't hesitate to ask me, if you need anything. Love you girl.

Love and prayers. Rest in Peace, sweet Michele.

I have such wonderful memories of Michele aka 'MO' while working at Mercy Medical Center. She was articulate, intelligent, compassionate, selfless & fun! MO had such a great love for her animals. It is truly an honor to have known & worked with Michele. My sincere sympathy to her family & friends. She wore her angel wings well on earth.... as she will in heaven. Bless you MO.
