I was in Pheonix, Arizona driving across the desert when I got a voicemail from my mother telling me what had happened.
Not only was I in shock, but I suddenly remembered things I had since forgotten about my childhood years.
Birthday parties in the McDonalds' play place, when my mom led our Brownie troop #333, field trips to Mystic and Lyman Orchards, Simon Lake elementary school, Devon...
Michelle was a solid fixture in my life as a child, and although I hadn't seen her in years save for once randomly at a party, I will always remember her in the warmest of lights...
My heart goes out to the Leidy family.

I did not know Michelle but I did know Deborah (Debo) LaPlante. Since the accident, I cannot stop thinking about the tragic loss of both of these beautiful, lively-spirited women. I hope they are at peace now...my sincere condolences to the Leidy family.

My thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. Michelle was a smart, beautiful, and talented girl. She was my popwarner assistant coach who I absoultly adored, and of course her mother Donna was my FAVORITE! I share some many good memories with all of you that I will forever remain in my heart. Donna I send you all of my hugs and kisses your way!!! if there is anything We can do to help dont hesitate to ask. Michelle will be our angel and I am honored to have known her for those years.
With greatest sympathy,

Michelle was my daughter, Meghan's, first teacher at Tudor Time back in 2003. Megs had a hard time adjusting to a new school, but Miss Michelle was always there everyday to help assure her that everything will be okay and that Mommy always comes back at the end of the day. Megs always loved playing in the playground with Miss Michelle. This will be the first year that Megs will be attending camp at Tutor Time - I can only imagine how difficult it will be to walk into that school and not see Michelle. Words alone can never express my deepest sympthy - your daughter/sister was a bright and beautiful girl - God must have been looking for a wonderful teacher for all of his children in Heaven - he picked the best! May Michelle's memory always remain alive! God Bless Michelle!

Michelle sounds absolutely beautiful. I am so sorry for your loss. Deborah (Debo) LaPlante of South Burlington was my angel. (My dear friend.) They were so similar. Loved by all. I guess God needed two angels in heaven that day. Love to you all.

To The Leidy Family,
I send my deepest sympathy to you and your family. I've only known Michelle a short time and I know that she truly was an angel on earth. For it was Miss Michelle who took over for me when I could no longer take care of my grandson, Aric full time. And who better to watch over and care for him but a beautiful angel. All my worries melted away when I met her and saw how much Aric loved her and how he felt safe with her. She had patience, and compassion and she was a loving soul, that everyone loved to be around. Her bright smile and loving ways will always remain in my heart and my thoughts and prayers are with you her loving family.

To the Leidy family,
I am greatly sorry for your loss and also thankful for bringing Michelle into this world, for all of us to share. Michelle was my son, Aric's, very first teacher, and quickly became his favorite. Every morning he would look for her car in the parking lot at Tutor Time, and make sure she was there. His transition into school was very difficult for him and myself, and Michelle always put my mind at ease. She was the only one he would go to...and every morning she would come over and physically have to peel him off of me. She made it so much easier and fun for him to go to school. I don't know how I could have made it through this past year without her! She was a gentle soul, so kind and patient. She always had so much fun with the kids...she loved when Aric made her pancakes in the play kitchen!
We are all deeply saddened by this tragedy. Miss Michelle-You have touched my son's life like no other, and for that I will always be greatful.
Once an angel on Earth,
Now an angel in Heaven.
You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Every morning while droping Myles off in your classroom at 6:30, he would ask if he could be your helper. I'm crying now just thinking about those mornings and how I will miss you saying to him, sure Myles. With your beautiful smile and your warm ways you could always comfort him when no one else could on his cranky days. Thank You. You will be missed but never forgotten.

To a wonderful "Friend" to have in life...She always thought positive in life..she wanted te best for her family and friends..We used to call her "MISH" or our favorite "CHIKA" and when she saw me with a tear in my eyes she just used to come up to me and say "Suzy Baby...Stay strong...Life is too short.." as she wiped my tear away and gave me the best heart warming hug EVER! We had great times hanging out laughing and we LOVED TO dance! That was my DANCING QUEEN! All I have to say is what a great lose in life, U were a pleasure to be with and I want to tell Your parents what you used to tell me..."Stay Strong baby" ...All the children here at TUTOR TIME loved her very Dearly...She was one of a kind....I love you MISH!...
to Michelle we must say Goodbye
She wouldn't want to see us Cry..
A sweeter Woman We've never met in our heart we'll never foget!
The Angels came to take her home,
Now we are left on earth to roam.
Her time was long,yet seemed too short to memories now we must resort.
For everyone she had a smile and she loved to sit and talk awhile.
now in our hearts Michelle still lives on until our time on earth is gone...
Then once again we'll join our friend together in time that will never end!
Love you girl,

My sincerest condolances go out to anyone who was lucky enough to have Michelle have touched their lives. I had only know Michelle for a short time and her personality was contagious. You were just drawn to her. I had met her while out one night and we just clicked. She wanted a change in her career and joined our team at Future and was definelty going to be one of our top performers! Her life was changing into a young adult...It seems so unfair but God has a plan for everyone and we must keep our eyes open to see how God wants us to use the loss of Michelle in this world. Michelle will be sadly missed. She is a sweetheart and I miss her terribly.
May God help to comfort all of you during this difficult time.
