Michelle,



I have known you and your family for about 20 years give or take a year, but can't replace all the memories I have of you. Ever since we were kids playing hide and seek with Kenny, Louis, Thor, Eric, and myself with bear chasing us down too usually giving away where we were hiding. But needless to say we were all good friends. Kenny made me laugh a lot whenever we would throw a ball cause he wasn’t really coordinated all to well and he just looked funny doing it. I think you could throw better than he could. Even though you were a few years older than me you kind of looked out for me cause I was a lot smaller than everyone else. And the time that I got sick from some Skol that Kenny had and I had to lie on the tin roof of the garage. I wasn't feeling to great then. I just want you to know that I had a great time hanging out with you whenever I was there. I will miss you a lot Michelle. My heart goes out to Morris, his family, your family, and all your friends that you have made in your life. We will all truly miss you.

I only knew you for one day, but in that short time you made me feel welcomed in your home. I'm sure you will be deeply missed by family and friends.

anyone who had a deep passion for her profession and truly loved kids is someone who is special in my book. Although i was not working side by side the last year I know that it was still the case. Special people come around once in a great a while and you were special . I'll miss seeing you around the park and above all else i'll miss seeing you .

Michelle, I will miss you so much. For years we have worked side by side, laughed and cried. Our work family will never be whole without you. But we will cherish every memory of you and all that you did for us and me.
