Michele Jane Hughes

Oh my goodness....I´m so very sorry for your family´s loss. I just happened upon this when searching for some info on a local vet clinic. I worked with Michelle at Animal Care Clinic for a short time in the early 2000s. She trained me on a lot of things there as I knew nothing when I started. She was so sweet and patient and skilled. She was a real genuine person. She had great compassion for animals and took pride in her work. I think she had 2 gigantic Rottweilers back then if I remember correctly.

Happy Winnie the pooh day Michele. Your favorite little bear. Love you

Hi Michele, it's me your sister. It's my 51st. Birthday today. I sent you these beautiful pictures of the Monterey Bay. I miss you and love you.

Merry Christmas Eve Michele! I love you so much. Love always your sister

Our first Thanksgiving without you. Missing you so much every single day, every single hour, every single minute of my life. I'm still waiting for you. I love you love always Denise

Happy Heavenly Birthday Michele. We love and miss you so much. I'm lost without you.

I find it difficult to articulate my grief, but I have been profoundly impacted by the loss of my Aunt Michele. I have a host of childhood memories that can never be erased, and that I will cherish for the rest of my life. I´m upset; I let my day to day life consume me, and I am now left with so many things to say. I still have big dreams, big things that I can never share with her, at least, not the same as before. I still find myself wanting to text her, thinking I´ll still get a response. Loss is hard, but I can rest knowing my Aunt is no longer suffering. It may have been short, but these 25 years of know her have been nothing but amazing. Thank you for loving me, advising me, and building me. The amazing memories you cultivated for me as a child have no doubt developed me into the person I have become today. Thank you so much, and rest in paradise Aunt Michele.

My memories of my sister started when I was 3/4 years of age. Our mom and dad brought her home to our apartment and I looked in the bassinet and thought...well ok now what. I proceeded to swing the bassinet a little to hard lol. We had an amazing childhood and so, so many great memories. We were kids of the 80's...need I say more. It was totally awesome playing with our toys together and watching Saturday morning cartoons. Our mom would be cooking and or baking a cake, while it was raining outside. Cozy rainy memories. Michele would have all her Pound puppies in her room aka the vet. As me and my Cabbage patch kids watched on. Our Disneyland vacations were fantastic and we never wanted to leave, even as adults. The slumber parties at her apartment in Martinez and pool time were always hilarious. As different tenants walked by she would , for lack of a better phrase express her opinion about each person lol. She was down to earth and was always transparent. She never held her tongue. She absolutely loved her niece's my daughters Miranda and Faith. I could go on and on with a lifetime of memories. Anywho..I'm lost without her. I'm now an only child and it hurts. I keep looking at our last texts to each other. Not knowing it would be the last one she ever would send me. We were supposed to grow old together I miss her so much, that I find myself looking her her. I love you little sister, I'm happy you are no longer in pain. Love always your sister.
