Michele M. Ullrich

I met Michele as a hospital volunteer last winter. She knew she only had a few months left and she used that short time to fill the space around her with happiness and joy. Although I had just met her, she was so funny and charasmatic that I always made sure to go see her and we often talked for hours. I didn't know her for long, but I'll never forget her.

I also was a classmate of Michelle's, and I guess as we have mostly found we lose touch through the years and see each other at the reunions only.. its amazing throughout Michelles life what we all remember is her huge smile, quick wit and great sense of humor! To leave memories of that never ending smile with her family and friends are priceless. My thoughts and prayers for all who loved her..

I am a high school classmate of Michelle's and like Mike since our graduation I only had contact with Michelle at reunions. It was touching to read from Michelle's co-workers that she did not change through the years - my high school memory of Michelle is one of her with a smile on her face all the time. She was a sweet girl and I can't imagine that she ever made an enemy in her lifetime! Kudos for her family who came to provide her support and comfort. Prayers for her family and all who will miss her.

While I have not really kept in touch with Michelle since high school, except for the occasional reunion, I only have fond memories of her and her wit and humor. Also, she was the best team manager that a Rosemount boys intramural basketball team could ever have! We may not have had the best team that year, but we had the most fun, in large part to Michelle's "management skills." It was that type of humor and camaraderie that made her special. Thoughts and prayers for her family in this difficult time.

I worked with Michelle at PGI Companies for a number of years. She always had a smile on her face when you would see her in the hall. Since we were the same age I would joke with her on her birthday that she was older than dirt- she would laugh and laugh. She was also one of the girls weekend group and we would have so much fun. Michelle loved her family and in one of our last conversations said her "family has really stepped up to the plate to help her." She really appreciated all the support and help her family gave.

I knew Michelle for over 25 years. Her sense of humor was sharp and her friendship warm, she was always fun to be around. We were lucky to be in the Twin Cities in March for a party for Michelle. It was good to see her again! She will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family at this sad time.

I worked with Michele for a number of years, and you couldn’t ask for a more conscientious colleague or a nicer person. She always talked about her family and how much they meant to her. When she left to pursue the printing business, she was sorely missed. Michele was a very special person to those who knew her. I’m sorry that she died so young. Prayers for her family and those who loved her.
