Like many of my old colleagues, I was gutted to hear about Michele's passing. I worked with her for years, and she exuded the professionalism, perfection, and personability that we all strive for. She was a joy and an inspiration, and always made a positive impact and impression. I was thankful to call her a friend and keep in touch after that time. I'll take solace in the memories of all the great conversations and laughs at conferences. This is a huge loss for so many. My deepest condolences to John and the kids.

Grew up with Michele in Anna OH and knew her from the time we weren't even able to walk yet. As most everyone has commented, she was a very kind soul. Was so shocked and saddened to hear of her passing. May her light shine on in heaven and in her children.

Shelly was my mother’s (her Aunt Ginny BOYER/Maurer) niece and one of our cousins in the BOYER family. She as well as my sister Kim were born on my dad’s birthday (her Uncle Vic Maurer) of April 28. Shelly, Kim & Dad would celebrate their birthdays together when she was a child. Our BOYER extended family, mostly cousins is scattered across the country now. Although our parents are gone we have two Aunts still living in Ohio.
John, Kara and Ryan.. please know you are all in our hearts at this time. I am truly sorry for your loss. I know my many other BOYER cousins share in our heartfelt sadness. Sending our love to you all

A vibrant wonderful woman. Outspoken and stubborn ( in a good way). Tried her very best to be a friend to everyone she met. Will be sadly missed and fondly remembered by me and everyone she touched. Rest In Peace to my sister in law. God bless my brother, niece, and nephew in this very difficult time.

I worked with Michele for many years. She was a star at what she was doing and an even brighter star in person. I live in Sweden but had the opportunity to see her in person during several customer events across the U.S. and it was always so great to get together with her. I miss her kind soul. And I’m forever grateful that I had the opportunity to work with, and get to know her. It’s a huge loss. My deepest sympathies to John, Ryan, Kara and the rest of Michele’s family.

I was so saddened to hear of Michele's passing. I had the pleasure of working with her for 8 years, where she was my colleague, a mentor, but mostly a friend. Her happy disposition was contagious. To the Daff family, I send you sincere condolences and pray that the incredible memories you have with Michele will console you during this horrible time. Heaven just gained an incredible angel. xo
