Eneida Michelson WAS "Grace"! And ... she "graced" everyone with whom she came into contact. A gentle woman, but, oh, so very strong! I know I am a better person for having known her and I am grateful to her for that blessing.
Rest in Peace, loving friend.

I didn´t know Eneida very well. I only met her a few times at some meetings. She was very sweet., very kind, and very welcoming to me...the new person! I won´t forget her. To her husband and family., I send my heart felt condolences. Her memories will give you a sense of peace and joy! She is at peace and is in heaven with the Lord!!!!

I have been privileged to witness Eneida´s generosity, gracious hospitality, and devotion to just causes for decades. When the Michelson boys were students in our un- conditioned Miami Springs Junior High back in the 1970´s, I served as the teacher representative to the PTA and Eneida was an officer. Over the course of 3 years, we ran annual "Huff-n-Puff-athons" where students pledged and teachers walked or ran to raise funds for paddle fans which Don Michelson´s electrical company installed in each classroom gratis to help create some relief for our students in the oppressive Miami heat.
Decades later, I volunteered for political phone banks, and the home of the hosts? The Michelsons! I learned then that they had travelled the country in their motor home, volunteering for campaigns. They even hosted volunteers from across the country and even from abroad who wanted to work to help our democracy. We call Don and Eneida our Democratic "Founding Parents" and I often tease that I want to be them when I grow up!
We wish Don our love, support and prayers, but we know he has his very own Guardian Angel looking over him now!
In the words of an Irish blessing, "May the Lord hold Eneida always in the hollow of His Hand !"
Love you both!
