I met Michelle just once, at her brother's wedding. She immediately felt like a friend with her bright smile and engaging openess. She will be missed by everyone who knew her however briefly but will be a gift to Heaven.

Michelle was a dear friend of MANY, my daughter Catherine was one of them. I had met her once while visiting my daughter. Michelle was a beautiful inspiration to her in many ways: as a mother, a friend, and in spiritual ways. They even started a neighborhood Bible study. My prayers are for comfort and peace for Clint, Connor, Blakeley, and Michelle's parents.
