I loved working with Michelle at TFA, and remember fondly her amazing, warm, bright spirit. We had time to walk and talk in the park near school, and to work together. She will be missed by many.

I had the pleasure of teaching at The Fletcher Academy with Michelle. She always went above the call of duty. She was an inspiration and will continue to be. I know she is looking down on all of us. My prayers are with her family during this time.

My Patsy had the pleasure of caring for Michelle's girls and having a close friend in Michelle. I can only imagine that they are having a girl party and laughing at stories about Brooke and Kara with the other angles I know they brought great joy to Patsy's life. Our condolences to Joel, Brooke, Kara, and family.

Although I never had the privilege of meeting Michelle, from the photos I can tell she had a graceful spirit, a giving heart, a beautiful soul. Joel, hold her memory near and dear within your heart. She is resting with the Lord...waiting until the joyful day when you will be reunited.
