I didn't know Michaelann personally but talked to her almost everyday when she called in animal calls to the 911 center. She was always a bright spot in my day, and always so sweet and loving when talking to her. I know she will be missed by so many. Prayers and love to all of her family.

My sincere sympathy and condolences to the family and friends of Michelann. I never met her in person; I met her over the phone when I would call animal control on my way to work to make a report. She was always so friendly and attentive and on my drive home the road would be cleared. She made sure the job was done and I appreciated her for caring. I didn’t know her personally but from the times I spoke with her, I know she was a God loving woman. May she rest eternally in His loving arms.
