Michaela C. Gingras 24, of Manchester, NH was a victim of murder on September 10, 2017. She was born in Manchester, NH to Justine Gingras-Gagnon and Mark Gingras. She was raised in Goffstown, NH and attended Goffstown High School. She was athletic and strong. She played soccer, basketball, softball, cheerleading, lacrosse, and skiing. She was small of stature but was fierce when protecting self and those she loved. She had an amazing heart and soul. She at one time volunteered at the Kids Cafe in Manchester, NH and was upset and saddened to see young children walking home alone in unsafe parts of Manchester so she decided she would walk each of them home to make sure they were safe. She loved all things "Betty Boop", Harley rides, shopping, and traveling, especially to Miami, and loved the Miami beaches. She struggled with many things in life, and drug addiction like so many was one of them. She had just started to turn her life around when she was brutally taken from us. She had a big heart and loved to help people. Michaela was predeceased by her grandfather Emile Gingras. She leaves behind her mother Justine Gingras-Gagnon of Goffstown, NH; her father Mark Gingras of Alton, NH; her brothers Jake Gingras of Land O' Lakes, FL, and Keagan Gingras of Manchester, NH; sisters Jasmine Gagnon of Nashua, NH, and Summer Gagnon of Nashua, NH; grandmothers, Cheryl Schmidtchen of Manchester, NH, and Lucile Gingras of Manchester, NH; grandfathers Raymond Beauclair Sr. Of Land O' Lakes, FL, and Richard Schmidtchen of Manchester, NH, as well as several aunts, uncles, and cousins.

Life has been so hard and I try to be happy in your memory but it seems to be harder to do everyday that has gone by without you. I don't see happiness and light, I see darkness and a void that can never be filled. My grief for you seems to have exponentially increased rather than soften with time. I miss seeing you, hearing you, and miss being part of what your future may have held. I battle daily with the rage, unfairness, injustice, fear and many more mental and emotional thoughts and feelings that seem to cripple how I view family, friends and the world around me. I'm truly tying to see the light and live my happiest life but I just struggle with which wolf I will feed each day. Love you, miss you and can only hope and pray you are at peace and that one day I will get to see my amazing and beautiful baby girl again. Love you to the moon and back!❤ Love Mom

May God comfort you in your time of need. It is difficult to watch a close friend lose her child. Especially Jessie, as in our eyes she has always been a super Mom. Michaela is watching over you now. Cherish the memories. You'll meet again.
