I am so sad to hear the news of Michelle’s accident and unexpected death. To her family and loved ones, I am so sorry for your loss. I have known Michelle since our early years of High School. She and I were involved in youth group and bible studies together. She was always sweet, and kind to all that really knew her, and with those that did not. When she was younger she was painfully shy and quiet. In fact so much so, we nicknamed her mouse. It was a nickname that stayed with her through out her life, and whenever I saw her and called her such, I was met with a big smile and hug. She was a very special friend, and a gem that will remain in my heart and memories until we meet again in Heaven. I counted her as one of those friends that I met on the road of life, when we were both so young, in our faith and full of life. I watched her come out of that shy, awkward, stage, and fulfill her life as a woman of promise. I remember her as she made her decision to follow Christ, and despite the heartaches and disappointments she faced in life, she remained true to her God and her beliefs. To you my dear friend. Romans 8:38-39 As we stand on this side of that curtain, we know we will see and talk with you again.

I am so sorry for your families loss. Michelle and I together helped low income families since 2012. I work in low income housing and Michelle really was part of my life on a weekly basis. Michelle helped me get so many people into gov’t housing that desperately needed it but did not have the resources. ” Michelle” you will be so deeply missed and my heart is so very heavy right now. It is February 26th, and I just found out about your accident by sending a tenant over to see you. Now I understand why it’s been so quiet the last few weeks around my office. I just thought you were busy. You are now in very good hands and there is absolutely no better place then in the presence of God. Heaven is a Christian’s destiny. I will miss you for now sweet dear lady!

I moved away from the area but recently came back. I had went to Christian Neighbors for assistance and immediately asked if Michelle still worked there (this was February 2016) the lady I asked had no idea…now today I found online that Michelle has passed away and I am so bummed. She was the person for everyone…not a mean bone in her body. Wherever I saw her, she always asked how I was doing. She had a genuine heart and sincere empathy for others. I feel sadness in my heart today…if I could talk to her now I would be able to thank her for helping me in the past and making my crisis situation seem hopeful. I could also tell her that I finally found a very good paying job and that I am ready to move forward in life and be free of crisis. I am sorry for everyone’s loss…the world needs more people like Michelle

I am so sad to hear the news of Michelle’s accident and unexpected death. To her family and loved ones, I am so sorry for your loss. I have known Michelle since our early years of High School. She and I were involved in youth group and bible studies together. She was always sweet, and kind to all that really knew her, and with those that did not. When she was younger she was painfully shy and quiet. In fact so much so, we nicknamed her mouse. It was a nickname that stayed with her through out her life, and whenever I saw her and called her such, I was met with a big smile and hug. She was a very special friend, and a gem that will remain in my heart and memories until we meet again in Heaven. I counted her as one of those friends that I met on the road of life, when we were both so young, in our faith and full of life. I watched her come out of that shy, awkward, stage, and fulfill her life as a woman of promise. I remember her as she made her decision to follow Christ, and despite the heartaches and disappointments she faced in life, she remained true to her God and her beliefs. To you my dear friend. Romans 8:38-39 As we stand on this side of that curtain, we know we will see and talk with you again.

Michelle & I became friends in school many years ago. We graduated high school together at Plainwell. She was quiet but very sweet. I am saddened by her passing but I know she is among other angels. May her family & friends find comfort in God’s love.

We called her Snack Lady, everyday she would give our Yorkie’s, Ozzy and Bella a sausage from Village Market. They knew her and we were just beginning to forge a friendship. Shelly and I and Ozzy and Bella, love the Snack Lady!

Michele’s friendship was a joy and a blessing. We would talk several times a week about client needs. Her dedication and enthusiasm, knowledge and love were evident and contagious. She shared those gifts with everyone and will be warmly remembered by many. Michele’ s family will be lifted and strengthened by the many prayers being offered and the knowing that she is in Gods perfect care.

I had the privilege of knowing Michelle for five years while she volunteer as a Mentor with the Life Skills Program for Love INC of NW Allegan county. Michelle touched many lives with her kind-Godly spirit. I pray that her family will be encouraged to know the many lives she touched! She was an awesome lady!

There are no words for the sadness I feel at the world losing such a wonderful person. She is in gods hands now, and I would pray that God holds her family close and helps them through this time. If her family should eat anything, I hope they call. I have known Michele since we worked at the Perrigo store together. I will miss you my friend, but I know I will see you again.

I met Michelle when I need some help finding a place to live. I wasn’t even working at the time, but I believe she had a good feeling about helping me. I am so glad she was there when I needed her, she helped me get an apartment and because she believed in me, I believed in me and went on to getting a wonderful job and making my life better…..all thanks to Michelle! You will be missed by your family, friends and definately the community!

I am so sorry to hear about Michelle. I remember her from birth, since I lived next door and babysat her. I remember her hip problem and special brace, and all those curls!!! She has always been such a beautiful person. I know you will miss her, but also know you are happy she is at peace in the loving arms of Our Lord and Savior. God Bless All.

I am so sorry for your families loss. Michelle and I together helped low income families since 2012. I work in low income housing and Michelle really was part of my life on a weekly basis. Michelle helped me get so many people into gov’t housing that desperately needed it but did not have the resources. ” Michelle” you will be so deeply missed and my heart is so very heavy right now. It is February 26th, and I just found out about your accident by sending a tenant over to see you. Now I understand why it’s been so quiet the last few weeks around my office. I just thought you were busy. You are now in very good hands and there is absolutely no better place then in the presence of God. Heaven is a Christian’s destiny. I will miss you for now sweet dear lady!

I moved away from the area but recently came back. I had went to Christian Neighbors for assistance and immediately asked if Michelle still worked there (this was February 2016) the lady I asked had no idea…now today I found online that Michelle has passed away and I am so bummed. She was the person for everyone…not a mean bone in her body. Wherever I saw her, she always asked how I was doing. She had a genuine heart and sincere empathy for others. I feel sadness in my heart today…if I could talk to her now I would be able to thank her for helping me in the past and making my crisis situation seem hopeful. I could also tell her that I finally found a very good paying job and that I am ready to move forward in life and be free of crisis. I am sorry for everyone’s loss…the world needs more people like Michelle
