It has been over 5 years since I last saw Michelle and if I'm remembering correctly she had finished the mini-marathon that day and was just radiant. It was always a joy to see her smiling face and hear her stories. She is one of the few Providence graduates who I would run into now and then in Louisville and it was always an especially welcome occasion to see Michelle. My memories of her will remain in my heart.

I will miss Michelle with all of my heart. We have a bond that will never be broken. I saw her give birth to Hope on Monday night April 24, 2000. I remember having a Super Bowl Party in 2000 which was one of the best Super Bowls since I started watching sports at 13 years old. I taped that Super Bowl and I will watch the game and light a candle. We would ride together often for a certain group every Sunday. We shared a lot together. She shared her challenges as well as her joys and love for her family. She will definitely be deeply missed.

Godspeed, Michelle

I would like to extend my deepest sympathy to Martha Jane. I remember Michelle as a little girl at Aunt Norma's visiting. I am so sad for the loss of your daughter. I am thinking of you Martha Jane and praying that God will bless with peace and love.

It has been almost twenty years since I last saw Michelle. From reading comments people have left on this board...fun-tastic, full of energy and sunshine, beautiful smile and kind heart, bubbling personality, it is obvious she had not changed a bit. Her personality and sweetness would always light up a room. Martha, Pat, Her Dad, and Children, my heart and prayers go out to you. Michelle's spirit will live on in all the lives she touched in her lifetime. Heaven is a little bit brighter now.

My heart goes out to Michelle's family, she will be greatly missed. Its so hard to believe she is no longer with us. I have only known Michelle for a short time and will never forget her. She was a great nurse, and so good with her patients. Her bubbling personality stands out, her facial expressions, her body movements. I will truly miss her. She has made a deep impression in my heart. May God comfort you all.

My Deepest Sympathy to Michelle's family. I remember the last time I saw and spoke with her at the airport as we crossed paths, "O my GOD Gary, Hi!" a quick hug and kiss as she said, "I have gotta run the plane is leaving without me" as she was flying to New York and I to DC. I will always hold your smile and fun adventureous spirit close. I am so fortunate to have known you through the 30 years.
