Michelle was one of the nicest ladies that I ever met, always Happy and full of life, but also one of hardest and caring workers that I ever met,There isn't anything that she would not do for anyone if she could. She will be sadly missed by everyone and my thoughts and prayers go out to her family at this very difficult time and you will never be forgotten by anyone. Rest in Peace my good friend.

The last time I saw MIchelle was 2006. She was healthy, vibrant, radiant. She was smiling and effortlessly drawing people in. She was enjoying life and celebrating. In the decade that I knew her she was defined by her smile, her goodness, her joy and her love of life. She had a kindness and beauty that were true and pure and rare. It is almost impossible not to resort to cliches in an instance like this - the world really is a better place because Michelle was part of it. May she forever live on in radiant smiles that we share with one another while remembering her goodness.

Michelle was one of a kind. She was a really hard worker who could be counted on to take on more than her fair share and to stand up for what was right. She would tell the best stories that would have me laughing so hard. She was always quick to make friends and was oblivious to the numerous nice guys who wished they could have a chance with her. She was always loyal. We had weaved in and out of each other's lives throughout the past 35 years and it's hard to believe that She is not here anymore. I miss you michelle and I know heaven has a special place for you. You deserve it! I hope we will meet again someday. Rest in peace.

I am so sorry to hear of Michelle's passing. I first met her when she was my math teacher at St.Francis, and then I met her again as an employee of the MS Society when I set her up with a Friendly Visiting Volunteer after she moved to the Fanning Center. I will always remember her lovely smile!

Thinking of the Cutshaw family - Michelle (Miss Cuts) was my TA from 1996-1999 and made a huge impact on my life. Always greeting every student with a smile, she was truly an inspiration to so many.
