Dearest Ducousso's,

I am heartbroken over the news of Michelle's passing. It has been great to reconnect with her over the last 5 years. I know she is out of pain and with your parents, George & Paul. You are in my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time but I guess they have another person for pedro in heaven. RIP Michelle says hi and hug Paul & Jimmy for me. XO

Love, Ann Margaret Carlin

I know how much Michelle appreciated the help and love you gave her especially the past few months. She will be missed by so many. I just realized how long we have been friends. My daughter is almost 27 and she still has the stuffed elephant Michelle gave her when she was born. I will miss her. She was a dear friend.

Oh, I am so saddened to read of this! Michelle was just a baby in those years we all knew each other on 37th Ave.
We became reaquainted when working for a short time together at a dialysis clinic in Petaluma. Michelle was so smart, dedicated and funny! My prayers are with you all at this hard time...Meegan Murphy
