I miss and love you so much. I remember in July 1969, in Las Vegas, asking you to come out of the bathroom and go with me to the wedding chapel so your mom and my dad could get married and we could be sisters. You came out and we hugged and I have loved you ever since... I will always love you little one. I miss you

Mish,
I miss you so much. You taught me so much. You were more beautiful inside than you were on the outside. You will always be one true love.

I think of you every day sweet friend. I would have loved to have you here with us last month when Heidi got married. You would have made it even more special. I hope you're watching over all of us who love and miss you. We will never forget you....our true angel.

I met Michele only once a year ago, but in my chance encounter with her, I got a sense of her heart and kindness. I was at my favorite flower shop in Los Gatos. Although I did not know her, I overheard her talking to the flower shop clerk about how difficult it is to get over grief, especially when someone dies so young and tragically. I introduced myself to her and said that I understood. I shared with her that I had recently lost my daughter and her newborn baby very unexpectedly tragically. We shared thoughts about loss and grief and exchanged hugs before she left the store. Later, when I went to the counter to purchase my flowers, the girl at the counter handed me a large bouquet of flowers tied with a ribbon and a card. She explained that Michelle had purchased them for me before she left and instructed the clerk to give them to me later after she had gone. In the card, Michele wrote me a very touching note about staying strong, which I have saved to this date. She had already left the store so I never got to thank her. It was much later when I saw her on the news that I realized who she was. My heart goes out to Michele's children and family. My deepest condolences on your loss. I met your mom only briefly but she touched my heart with an act of kindness I will always remember.

I met Michele a few weeks ago when she started a new job for the company I work for. She was sweet and seemed fragile. I also experienced a tragedy that killed my first husband, so we had that in common. We discussed how losing your first love changes your memories of your family. My heart goes out to her children and family. She was a very special person.

When Alex was little I recall Michelle saying to me, "The thing I have always wanted to be more than anything else was to be a mom." And I know she was an awesome one. So Alex, David, and Liza, you each made her dream come true. My deepest sympathy, and warmest well wishing for you. Love, Andi Gibb

Michele, thirty years ago you came into our lives, first as Toni's sponser then as a friend, a sister, a soul-mate to Toni & like a daughter to our Mom. So many life changes have happened over years, but none ever prepared us to loose you. Just the thought of never hearing your voice again is almost unbearable. It wasn't supposed to be like this, we were all growing old together,& no one can take your place.So until we see you again be an ANGEL & watch over us all. I will forever miss you my friend.

Art and I are very sad to hear the news of your mother. She was there for us when my mom, Dotty, was in her journey discovering she had cancer. She made us dinner the night she died, and my family will forever hold her lovingly in our hearts for that generous act alone. But, she became my friend, Auntie Michele to my daughter Celia, and my son Anthony. Her symbol was always an angel, and I will hold one with me forever as a symbol of your beautiful mother who I am so blessed to have had in my life. Allison

I worked with Michele a while back, she went on a trip and brought me back a silly little trinket that I will treasure forever..David, Alex, and Lisa she was and is a Wonderful, Beautiful woman may the Lord Bless and keep you in his loving arms. She will always be remembered in one way or another by all the people who knew and loved her.

Michele, what a gorgeous person you were! I always admired how much love there was between you and your kids. You ADORED them. I will forever have fond memories of massaging you and our long talks in your LG cottage. You were first a mother to some of my favorite friends, but then you became a sweet friend to me personally. The last time I saw you was at a church and you gave me a good luck token. The perfect example of the type of person you were. Thank you for leaving a lasting imprint in my life. Rest in peace knowing you have left a loving legacy in your children and grandchildren. You may be physically gone, but you still exist and will NEVER be forgotten. Love you...

I feel like words are not enough to express my feelings. 30 years ago you came into my life and saved me. We have been soul mates ever since. Death can not break our bond, and words can not tell our story of friendship and love. So, give Mark a kiss for me and I will see you in heaven my sweet angle<3

The sorrow of the faithful
is not that of permanent loss,
but the tender sense of sadness
that comes in saying good-bye for now
to someone we love.
May today's sorrow give way
to the peace and
comfort of God's love. I just met Michele this past year, she had such a beautiful spirit and I am glad that God gave me the chance to know her. You will be missed Michele. Our thoughts and prayers go out to your children and friends.

I never met Michele but have followed her story since the death of her husband. What a tragedy this is. I hope she is at peace and I wish for much peace for her children and family. You all will remain in my thoughts and prayers.
August 9, 2012
I'm so sad to hear of Michele's death. She was, back in the day, a beautiful loving young women, and mom. These last years of her life with Mark's death and all she went through makes me know she will find peace and answers to her heartache. She will be in a place where somehow she is needed even more. God made a beautiful person and he must have needed that beautiful mind of her's in another place. Peace and love be with you Michele and go fly. Go find Mark up there and guide those you love, here. He will find you. You were a special, special one. You will be remembered for your courage and bravery when time is the toughest of all. You will be thought of many times in my life before I die. Thank you. You are a Hero.

You were my friend, and your presence in my life was a gift. We lifted each other when times were tough with our 2 hour children conversations. You brought peace to me many times even when your own life was in turmoil. That is who you were. You cared for others the best way you knew how. I am so sorry for your children. They are strong and are loved by many. They all have your caring ways and are beautiful children and I pray they can find some peace after this tragedy. RIP
Michele - We will be here to watch over them. God Bless all friends and family who have lost this beautiful woman.

It's incomprehensible, my precious friend, that life has taken another tragic turn for you, your family and so many people you loved and who loved you. Rest in peace, beautiful girl ....your suffering is over.

Sweet, sweet, Michele! Remember when we roomed in a tiny little cabin on the ocean together, remember when we spent a weekend in Monterey together, remember when we spent many late nights solving each others problems together, remember all our long, long phone conversations together? I missed those days last week and I'll miss them even more today. Don't worry, because your children never doubted your love for them! Don't worry, because you raised three strong wonderful children! Rest in PEACE, my beautiful friend.

Oh MY GOD... I am so sorry for the loss. Michelle was a long time friend along with Linda Smeck. My heart is broken. Michelle was the sweetest person I know and I am not saying that because she is gone. She gave the sweetest kisses. Men and women she was just sweet. The world as lost a kind, loving sole. I am so sorry. She really was too good for the world. -annette
