Michelle was a wonderful person, sweet and always smiling. She will be missed. May she rest in peace.

We remember Michelle, Shelly when she was just a young girl.. Her Mom always dressed her so beautiful with bows in her hair to match her dress. Michelle was always smiling. She adored her Big Brothers, Richard and Robert.

To Michelle's Family, I am going miss my friend. She was the sweetest, kindest soul and was such a pleasure to work with. She always had a smile on her face and always happy. She loved her family dearly and spoke of you all often. What a loss for us all. I wish her heavenly peace and know I am thinking of you all.

Oh, Michelle, how you made an impact on this world! I am crushed, you broke a lot of hearts with your passing.... and you brought so much love in the world with your presence! I am thankful, I feel blessed to have been your "babysitter" so long ago. I looked forward to seeing you every day after school, summers too! I loved that I had permission to take you everywhere with my friends, the bus rides to Quincy, the Bargainer if I recall correctly...I can see and hear your laughter still, you were always the happiest child. I got to know your family well and have loved them all, they were so lucky to have you and you hit gold...After your Mom passed, although you had your Dad always and you were so close, I was amazed at how your brothers stepped up at such a young age, you have the best brothers in the world! I have such respect and admiration for them as they love you immensely. I relaxed when Richard met Lori & were serious as you already loved her too and she was so good to you and for you. I also love Robert and his wife, Kim, such solid and caring people. In my experience, Robert was always quiet and Kim is so social, it was so great to see and knowing they both loved you was the best feeling in the world! I loved you sharing with me about your nieces and nephews and the planned trip to Paris, I was in awe at the level of love and trust it takes to have permission to take them with you on your adventures. I had a family when we met for lunch and you shared this with me and your trips. I was thrilled you were inspired to travel, and in awe of how you lived your life, you showed courage in all you did and had fun! You have taken a piece of my heart with you, I'll forever love you & keep you in my heart...Keep them laughing in heaven, I KNOW you are there, I love the messages you sent to Richard and am forever thankful he shared with me... it gives us little peace knowing you are there humor and heart intact. xo

Words cannot express the sadness in my heart. I hope you can find peace in the fact she didn't suffer. She's with her Mom and Dad now (and Tippy too) She leaves so many beautiful memories with us. Even in her passing she was still giving as an organ Donor. Giving so one else the gift of life. My Sweet niece
