Mrs. Michelle Ann Roop

Michelle “Missy� Ann Roop, from Orlando, died unexpectedly on Wednesday, February 18, 2009 at her home in Waterford Lakes. She was 44. The daughter of Monse and Jeanette Echevarria, Missy was born on November 16, 1964 in Lorain, OH. Missy was a wife, mother, sister, daughter, nurse and friend. She was loved by all who knew her. As a mother, she was a giver of life. As a nurse, she helped others to bring precious lives into this world as well as assisting in healing the lives of others. For all, she had the unique ability to make you feel better without having to say a word. She had a pure, gentle spirit that could be felt by anyone who was blessed by her presence. Missy loved life and thoroughly enjoyed to laugh and she didn’t mind to laugh at herself. She had a quiet strength; strength so strong, she uplifted the down-trodden without even being aware of it. Yet it was her gift of unselfish love which defined her life and made her an incredible mother and wife. Missy’s life has been a gift to us all who knew her and we will cherish her memory forever. She is survived by husband James Roop, sons, Matthew, 5, Jonathon, 3; her parents, Monse and Jeanette Echevarria; brothers, Michael and Mitchell Echevarria; grandmother, Ana Lamberty.
