Dear God I thank you for giving me a sister named Michelle Maria I remember clearly the day she was brought home from the hospital she slept in a 6 month crib in my parents room and our dog missy was so curious and anxious to meet her she sniffed her blanket and stayed in the room for awhile she then moved from the 6 month crib to a 6 year crib and stayed in the bedroom off the kitchen she was a beautiful little baby with blonde hair blue green eyes and a curious smile she was perfect. She grew as babies do into a little girl who loved to play in our backyard and smell the beautiful roses that my mom planted and her purple iris' she loved flowers from an early age and my mom would plant a garden and michelle would help her pick the tomatoes and pull the weeds. Time moved on and at about 4 years old we played with some kids from the corner of 58th and mulligan the pettit's johnny and barbara jean in our yard and we witnessed the aug 6 1976 b 25 airplane crash that hit the house on 62 nd and austin and a house across from hale school we could not believe our eyes we ran all the way to hale park to see the aftermath we were in total shock. Michelle loved her dolls her star wars the muppets her sticker books her ribbon barrettes her barbies and snoopy and the peanuts gang. she would go with my mom to st syms friday night bingo and play with the other kids she loved her school days and had lots of friends Her best friends in grammar school were joanna mannio and lesley hinkle we had so much fun as kids sharing a bedroom watching our dukes of hazzard mash the odd couple the honeymooners and benny hill .our walls were covered with posters farrah fawcett U2 billy idol duran duran and michael hutchins from Inxs we would have these crazy wet washcloth fights slinging them across the room getting slapped with a soaked rag in the dark not knowing when you would be hit . She was a high honors student and when she graduated from the 8th grade she received every award they had it was an assembly just for Michelle how proud we all were of her. She was very artistic and once had a drawing displayed in the art institute of chicago . She attended Kennedy high school and befriended Lisa McCauley and they became best friends she took a part time job at dominicks and became the best of friends with Danny and Julie Mestan Annie kingsley Brian murphy brian colatta and a few other coworkers she was the light in the room everybody loved her sense of humor her kind ways and her laugh. She went on to moraine valley college and graduated and became a tech for retina surgeons at Rush she became fast best friends with Lucy Limon she loved her job she gave 110% to everything she did. she married Peter Wilczak had 3 beautiful children Gabi Grace Owen 2 Dogs Pippa And Bindy a lizard named Her music faves included U 2 Duran Duran InXS Sting Yes The Lumineers The Black Crowes 21 Pilots Frank sinatra and Johnny Mathis . She loved her nieces and nephews and never forgot a birthday she loved Christmas Halloween Easter the 4 th of July the Blackhawks The Bulls The Cubs The zoo The Shedd aquarium The museums and the botanical garden .She made a mean Taco Dip and threw the best Parties she went all in, The planning, The preparation, The food , The beautiful Cakes The movie nights.
The battle is won you have crossed over into the arms of Jesus may you find comfort in his welcoming arms. I Love you Shell you will be forever missed . my lil sis
