Michelle was an amazing person. She loved her family very much! She was one that would do what she could for others, even if it was just talking. She loved working with children. The times we did have together were great. Talking walking football games bag toss cook outs bike riding. She always had a smile on her face. Even going through such a hard time she still kept a smile on her face a fraught as hard as possible. God finally seen that she was struggling and took her home. Now she she all we'll and looking down at all that loved and knew her. She will always be in my heart and memories. I will miss you Michelle as well as a while lot of people. My thoughts and prayers are with you family husband and boys. I will be there for them till we meet again. I love you Michelle. RIP

Michelle you were the sweetest and bravest of cousins. You made a mother's heart melt at your wedding when you took the time out of your special day to dance with a little seven year old boy who asked for a dance. To this day that man has a lasting memory of that day and that it all took place at Monty's. All our lives have been enriched for having known you. You will live on in those memories you helped create.

You will truly be missed Michelle

I am saddened to hear of this. She was a help to me everyday in the classroom. She had a gentle spirit and calm soul.She always told me to make sure I went camping. She always asked, "had I planed my trip yet". We send love and comfort to her boys and husband who were her world. Blessings ....
