Michaela Petit Obituary
Michaela was looking forward to attending middle school at Chase Collegiate this fall. Following in her big sister Hayley's footsteps, she was to take over her Multiple Sclerosis cause "Hayley's Hope", renaming it "Michaela's Miracle" when Hayley left for Dartmouth this fall. She had completed her summer reading and was embarking on the new Harry Potter series. Michaela had a joyous time at the summer "Athletic Experience" at Miss Porter's School in Farmington, playing soccer, basketball, and lacrosse. She was known for her amazing friendships and being a champion by including everyone.
Michaela loved watching the cooking network and preparing "gourmet" meals for her family, and could always be found jumping on the trampoline in her backyard where her friends and neighbors gathered. She recently had her first flute solo at the Cheshire United Methodist Church. Michaela's perpetual smile will forever be remembered and missed by everyone.
She is survived by her father, William A. Petit Jr. M.D.; her paternal grandparents, William and Barbara Petit of Plainville; her maternal grandparents, Richard and Marybelle Hawke of Slippery Rock, Pa., and Venice, Fla.; her maternal great-grandmother, Florence Triano; her Aunt Cindy and Uncle Bill Renn and their children, Evan and Lydia; Uncle Glenn Petit, his children, Rachel and Alicia, and their children, Jacob and Molly, Aunt Kyla, Uncle Mike and Aunt Erin Petit and their children, Michael, Brooke, Tristan and Paige; Uncle Brian Petit; and Aunt Johanna and Uncle Dennis Chapman and their children, Abby and Andrew; she also leaves her great aunts and uncles, Jean McNuff, Judith Hodge, Jim Buchanan, Elnora Richards, John Hawke, Johanna and Joseph Ierna, Frank Triano, Andrea and James LaChapelle, Edward and Roberta Petit, Beverly and Larry Joyce, Sharon and Eugene Beaulieu, Gary Petit, Clara, Marilyn, Victoria, Sally, and Linda Petit; and many dear friends.
We meet to pay tribute to the lives of Michaela, her sister, Hayley, and their mother, Jennifer on Saturday, July 28, 2007 at 11 a.m. at the Herbert D. Welte Auditorium on the campus of Central Connecticut State University in New Britain, CT. Bailey Funeral Home, 48 Broad St, Plainville, is assisting the family with arrangements.

In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the Michaela Petit Scholarship at Chase Collegiate School, 565 Chase Parkway, Waterbury, CT 06708 or "Michaela's Miracle" at the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, Greater CT Chapter, 659 Tower Ave., 1st Floor, Hartford, CT 06112 or at www.ctfightsms.org.

Dear Michaela Rose, I personally did not know you; but, I heard about what had happened to your family. The whole country heard and stood still. My heart when out to your family and especially your father. Reading your story from your Dad's voice I felt his pain as a mother and parent. Because, i myself have beautiful daughters, and I can only imagine if anything happaned to them I would not know what I would do. Your life, your sister's and your mom's were taken on a sudden moment. My heart was touched forever, by what had happened. I browsed through your photographs on the news and internet. I see your smile brought joy and life to the people close to you. Even you brought a smile to my heart and soul. Just looking at your photos you were a happy and joyfull little girl. Full of life. Now, God has your smile and joy of happiness up there with him. Along, with your sister and your mom. I am just sorry your father misses you, as I am sure of that, being a parent myself. Sweet Michaela, I thank your family for sharing you, and to the world. Because, here in Chicago, it hit hard as well.
Rest in Peace Michaela.....now you are bringing joy and laughter to God!

Sounds like your own "4 o'clock" seeds live on, Michaela, as does the spirit and good works of your sister, you and your mother. The world is a better place because you three were in it. Thank you and please ask the Lord to guide us all here on earth in His ways so that we may leave the world a better and brighter place as well.

Dr. Petit-
What a beautiful legacy your family has left to us all. Learning about who your wife and daughters were, the goodness they bestowed on this earth, has inspired me to be the best that I can be. It is not only their death that has inspired me, but truly how they lived. There are so many around the entire world who feel the same. I can only hope that my life will have such a profound impact on others. As Jesus's actions, albeit through life and death, brought love and compassion to all, so has the life of your beautiful children and wife. And you, Dr. Petit have been an inspiration to millions. God Bless

Dear Michaela Rose,
I heard you this morning,
beautiful girl
Laughing on the garden breeze,
and dancing through my mountain’s trees
You lay beside me a fairy doll,
then blew some magic and she grew tall,
She sings and plays,
her heart’s content
She plays for you,
while you were sent
To teach all angels,
to know of love
To teach us humans,
we must look above
Where we will find, that laughing girl
Dancing on a garden breeze,
And playing in God’s summer trees.
And we will see, upon a Rose,
The name Michaela,
God’s most precious own…
~Nancy Jones, MD

~*~ Mother Teresa's Prayer ~*~
This poem was written by Mother Teresa and is engraved on the wall of her home for children in Calcutta. It's super.
People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered;
...Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
...Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies;
...Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
...Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;
...Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;
...Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
...Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough;
...Give the world the best you've got anyway.
You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God;
It was never between you and them anyway.
"We can do no great things -
only small things with great love."
--Mother Teresa
