Michele Silverberg was a most kind and generous woman. I worked with Michele years ago at her husband's business. She was always very jovial and could make your day with her quick wit. Her compassion for others was greatly appreciated. I am so sorry to hear of this news and to hear of her suffering. God Bless everyone in Michele's family and may God comfort you all during this difficult time. She is truly a dear woman. Again, my sincere condolences to you all.

We will miss Michele. She was a good
friend and would do anything for you.
She loved her husband and he was a
rock for her during her illness. Also, she loved her daughters so much and
was a loving grandma.
We will miss Michele, but are glad
she is free of the illness that affected
her. I'm glad we became good
friends over the years.
Our love to Barry,
Amy, Betsy and their families.
We will be in touch soon.
