Michaela Zickuhr Obituary

MICHAELA AURORA ZICKUHR Our precious angel left us to be with our Lord in heaven April 19, 2009. Born July 2, 1992, Michaela was with us for 16 wonderful years. Her beautiful smile and fun-loving spirit will forever be missed by all those fortunate enough to have known her. Michaela attended Riverside schools, including Victoria Elementary, Riverside Christian Day School, Woodcrest Middle School, and most recently, Notre Dame High School. Michaela will especially be missed by her parents John and Veronica Michels, Timothy and Tammy Zickuhr, and brothers Logan and Luke Michels. Michaela is also survived by grandparents Diana Rodriguez, Andrew and Josie Felix, Virginia Zickuhr, Mark and Sheila Michels, ten aunts, five uncles, and 29 cousins. A memorial service will be held on Friday, April 24 at The Grove Community Church, 19900 Grove Community Dr., Riverside, at 9:30am; the graveside service will be held at Olivewood Memorial Park, 3300 Central Ave., Riverside, at 11:30am. A reception will follow immediately at The Grove Community Church. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be sent to the Michaela Zickuhr Memorial Scholarship Fund, 3891 10th St., Riverside, CA 92501. The fund was established to provide financial assistance to a deserving student to attend Notre Dame High School.

Veronica,
You and Michaela have been on my mind since I found out about Michaela's untimely death. You are such an awesome mom and you cared so deeply for your children. I looked forward to seeing you to get my updates about the going-ons of your family. You beamed with such happiness when you last talked about Michaela, having had just gotten great grades, getting her driver's license, shopping for jeans and so on. My heart aches for you and I was in tears when I heard the news. There are no words to express my shock and disbelief.
I hope you find comfort in God and in your family.
God Bless You and Your Family.

My heart goes out to those who lost such a precious gift from God. Though on this earth we endure sorrow and grief for the untimely death of such a young life with so much time left to live, please find comfort in knowing that she is the loving arms of her creator. He has spared her from the hurts, struggles and disappointments that this earthly life would have put her through. My thoughts and prayers are with all of the family members that she left behind. Know that you have a heavenly Father too that will comfort you in your time of trouble. Turn to Him, cast all your cares on Him for He cares for each one of you. God Bless you always and forever!

Sorrow fills our hearts at this sad moment, a sorrow that is deep and personal. The news of the untimely death of Michaela Zickuhr came as a great shock. Her departure was sudden, unexpected and particularly distressing. I could not hold back the tears when I heard of her passing. It is difficult indeed to find words to express my regret at the death of this splendid girl. May the bereaved family find solace in the inspiring memories of the exemplary life of sweet Michaela.

God Bless the Michels Family and may God keep you in this time of mourning.
