Mickey was and is an incredible woman. I looked forward to every minute I got to spend with her. Even our trips to Boston to see the doctors were always an adventure and she had us laughing the entire time. Any problem I had, big or small, she knew exactly the right words to say and helped me grow into who I am today. I love her and will miss her everyday. Grandpa and Grandma Huey, Tim and the boys, her amazing best friends, and my family are all better people for knowing her.
I know she is back with Big Tom and Rich and watching over us all. You are our angel Mickey. <3

Tim and extended family of Michelle,
I met Michelle when Tim worked at Cityside Management. When we had our company outings/gatherings Michelle was the life of the party. Michelle was such a lovely person, funny, great bartender and full of life. I was saddened and shocked to hear of her passing. My thoughts and prayers are/will be with your family. I have found that fond memories are so important now and as time goes on and I am sure you all had many fond memories of Michelle. Talk about them, laugh, smile and keep Michelle in your thoughts. Again I am very sorry for your loss.

Our hearts are aching for all of you at this time....Uncle Dicky, Aunt Arlene, Tim, Greg, Bryan and Anthony....please know that she cherished each and every one of you in her own special way. Uncle Dicky you were her hero and you and Aunt Arlene were her best friends,Timmy although you were no longer together she always had a special place in her heart for you and knew how much you loved her. As far as the boys, you all brought her such joy...you could see it in her eyes evertime she spoke of you. It saddened her when we talked about her children and she knew that she would not be here to see them through all of their accomplishments in life...like graduation, dating, marriage and babies. Please know boys that she is always watching over you and will be there at all these special events in your life, maybe not in body but in your hearts. Keep talking to her and even though you may not hear her...I promise she will hear you.
All Our Love Buzz & Carolyn

I only knew Mickey for the last 4 years through our softball league, but I feel blessed to have had that time with her. She was a very special lady who was always smiling & happy. She lived her life the best way...to the fullest. She has taught me to take every moment you can for what it is & make it even better. She will forever be "my softball goddess" & I take comfort in knowing she is now a guardian angel to us all. Rest in Peace Mickey, the girls & I will miss you & love you forever.

I only met Michelle about 2 years ago. We were at a Tupperware party and BELIEVE ME, she MADE the party. So much love and laughter! I know her family and friends will miss her so much. I barely knew her but when I hear her name...I smile. That's what she left me. Thank you Michelle, I will never forget you.

Rest in Peace Mickey, my friend. Even though we did not keep in touch often, we had many memories growing up next to each other. I will always remember the red short set with the blanket cape, softball, the neighborhood "manhunt" games we all participated in, our blonde hair we all had, your laughter, and your awesome sense of humor. My thoughts are with your boys, your parents, and your friends during this sad time. I know you are free from pain and suffering now. Say "Hi!" to your brothers and my Mom for me. She will be there waiting for you with a big hug. You will be greatly missed.

One of my fondest memories of "MICKEY" was when that song by TONI BASIL came out in the early 80's and we all use to sing that song on the school bus and she'd always be the center of attention on that one! My sympathies to her family no more suffering and may she watch over her children from above!

I am saddened to hear that Michelle has passed away. I was a classmate of hers at MHS, class of 1990. I too( as in the post below) did not stay connected to Michelle after high school, but will always have the memory of her being filled with laughter. She was a wonderful friend. Celebrate her life with laughter in yours, she would want that. God Bless.

No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. Our deepest condolences are with you as you grieve.

Mickey was a childhood friend of mine, we played softball for various MYA teams in our youth. We graduated together in 1990 and had since lost touch. I remember Mickey for her sense of humor, taking care of her friends if anyone dared pick on them, and the slightly frightened look on the opposing pitcher's face whenever she came up to bat. We all loved to wait for that moment - Mickey was our secret weapon and could belt a softball out of the park like nobody's business. My thoughts and prayers are with your family at this difficult time.

As a former classmate of the MHS class of 1990, I was deeply saddened to hear of Michelle's passing. She held a presence of humor that could be unmatched. I can remember some hardy laughs with her. Although I did not remain connected to Michelle over the years after High School, I am glad I will be able to remember her always as "Micky" and that she was a good friend to many. Sleep in Peace Michelle. My thoughts are with her children, family and friends. God Bless.
