I am so very, very, sorry about the loss of your mother.... I wish I would have known , I just found out today from Jamie... I just don't know what to say. She was a wonderful woman, & her and I were such great friends for so very long. Just know that I am and will be thinking of you all & hoping you have found peace now that she is not suffering anymore. I just wish I would have known before now... my heart is breaking because I did not get to say good-bye to her, but I know I will see her again one day. Hugs to all of you...

Dear Snyder & LaRose Families, God Bless you all. Michele is taking care of all of you from peaceful place...Heaven. Our fathers were more like brothers than cousins. I know they welcomed her with open arms into Heaven.

My beautiful sister, I am not ready to say good bye. You, as always did things your own way in your time and went much too early for those of us who mourn you. You were a wonderful sister and always at the ready with the love you gave freely to everyone you met. I know you are in heaven with mom and dad and will keep them laughing until the rest of us join you in paradise. You were one of a kind dear heart and I am a better person for having had you as a sister. I love you 'Chele and I miss you terribly.

You were more like a daughter than a daughter in law. You always were caring and would have done anything for papaw and me. I remember how excited you were when you accepted Jesus into your life and got baptized. Michele, there are. Just so many loving memories of you. You had a huge heart in that little body of yours. No mother loved her children more than you. How I remember the care you gave Jamie when she was born 11 weeks early. I always called you the mommy chicken with her little peepies. I will miss you my dear daughter. There will always be a hole in my heart. Jesus gave me an amazing assurance the day after you passed away that you were in his arms. I miss you. Dadaw

Michele was one of the first women that welcomed me to York. We taught Sunday school together for years and she helped pioneer Praise Community Church in York. Well done good and faithful servant. Enter into His presence with joy. I will miss you my sister. Love, Lynn

Mom, I can't not put into words just how much I am going to miss you. You were the best mom a daughter could ever have and dreamed for. One thing is for sure that you loved each one of your kids and would do anything for us. This past year was so hard for you and me to watch you go through all the pain and hurt that your body had to go through. The Lord blessed me with very good memories your last couple weeks with me, even thou some days were hard and you were in pain you still found some way to make me laugh and I now have many funny stories to tell all the family. Just like the last time I sat with you Wednesday night and held your hand and sang Angel by yourside..I now need you to be MY Angel by myside. I am happy that you are now in Heaven and have no pain and no worries. I will always Miss You and I will always Love You, you were such a fighter and can now rest peacefully.

Michele will definitely be missed. I worked with her at Otterbein and she definitely passed her passion for kids on to me. I always think about her sense of humor and how much the kids loved her. I always wanted to be like her. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends who will truly miss her.
