Ashley, Amanda & Gram,
I can't express the sorrow I feel for you with all that you have gone through over the past months. She was my dear friend who I could always call and count on, whatever the situation was. I loved her like a sister and am honored to have had her as my friend all these years. She loved you very much and adored her grandchildren. Remembering the great times is what will help you through this. She will truly be missed but never forgotten!!! Love you Michelle!!!

Dear Ashley & Amanda & all of Michelle's Family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you at this very difficult time. Michelle was a wonderful person. Even though I was no longer part of the Stoudt family, Michelle said I would always be her sister-in-law. Those words have always meant the world to me, to know how much she cared. Even though we did not see each other very often, she will always be remembered with great fondness. May your memories give you great comfort during these very difficult times. Just know that she loved you, her daughters and grandchildren very much. She will be deeply missed. Again, I am so sorry for your loss.

Our deepest sympathy to all of Michelle's family. Dennis and I have some very fond memories from years past. I know how much she loved her flower gardens. Maybe she will help to tend the flowers in God's garden. She will be at peace now.
