Dear Ed and Eddy my heart breaks for you both and I hope it’s some comfort knowing that Michele was loved by so many. She looked after and provided love and care to Leah and Abby and they and all her babies will miss her tremendously. We will always be grateful to have had her as a very special friend.

Michele we will miss you alot Lucas said you were his second mother and he loved helping out when you guys went on vacation. Lucas loved going down to your house when he was there for daycare. You made sure all the kids were happy, you also made sure they were still able to do all there school work when Covid hit. You are and always will be an amazing person. We are lucky to have you and your family in our lives. We will miss seeing you every day, but we know you are up in heaven looking down on all of us. My prayers have always been with you and the family.

When I would pick Carina for a Nana weekend, Michele and I would always talk for quite a while about this and that. As time went by those talks became fewer as my husband got sicker. I so clearly remember our last conversation held just weeks before she was hospitalized. I’ll miss those conversations Michelle, God bless.

Michele was one of the sweetest people you could ever meet. We were next door neighbors for19 years. She had my boys in her daycare, and I knew from day one, they were in the best of care. She really had a way about her. My deepest sympathy to her husband, Ed and her son, Eddie, along with the rest of her family. She will be missed beyond measure. But heaven truly gained another angel with Michele, my heart goes out to those she left behind, but know we will see her again one day on the other side. May God be with and bless her family as they are dealing with this great loss. She suffers no more. Our loss was Heavens gain!

My words cannot express how sorry I am for your loss. She’s gone much too soon. Michelle was such a warm and wonderful person. She would do anything for her family and friends. She loved her doggos and they loved her. Anytime one of our dogs got loose we could always find them at your house. Even they knew how wonderful she was.
