Evan,

Justin,Nick, Christy and I are very sad upon hearing about Michelle. I remember when we worked together years ago at Callaway, when you were still a young guy in college. It was obvious back then that you would have a successful life and marry a wonderful and beautiful person. Take care old friend. Steve diFeliciantonio

To the Isaacs Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. While I did not personally know Michelle, I do know the nice things that Peggy, my friend, has had to say about her. Peggy always spoke so kindly of her daughter-in-law. I know Michelle will be greatly missed by her family and friends. You are all in my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time.

Evan,

My heart was so sad to hear of Michelle's passing. I have so many wonderful memories of playing tennis with Michelle and you as our coach. Several years ago, Michelle helped me recover from my back surgery. She was an excellent Physical Therapist, wife, mother, and tennis player. I will miss her!

I won't be able to attend her memorial since I am out of town, but I will keep the girls and you in my prayers. Much love, Jo Warden

Michelle was a joy to be around. She was my physical therapist for 2 surgeries a couple of years ago. Because of her expertise I recovered completely. She talked often of her beloved family, especially her lovely daughters. My heart is so saddened by her loss. Prayers for peace & comfort go with her family.

Evan, Jessie and Kendall, Michelle was one of a kind. She was the kindest, most sincere person I've met. She spoke of you all often as her pride and joy. I will miss her deeply, especially our weekly morning tennis matches. We always had excellent tennis wrapped in fun and laughs. May God wrap you all in his heavenly arms going forward. With love and compassion, Kristie Sholtis
