To her beloved family. Met Michele our senior year when she moved to Ohio to live with her dad. When had many great times and a lot of sleepovers at my house on Thursday night. So enjoyed reuniting with her at our reunion and we had planned to get together when she came back to Florida. Sending hugs and prayers to you all.
Craig and I are very saddened by this loss of our dancing partner. Michele will be missed here in Sebring. Our dances will not be the same without her. May your memories comfort you. Sherry and Craig
Love you... Thoughts and Prayers

Dad, Derek, Tara & Odes, Chris & Kristen (& all the grandkids and great grandkids) , your Mom... my Michele ( I called her my Michele like you called her my Mom ) was a beautiful lady! Lived life to the fullest! And made an enormous difference in our lives and many others. I wonder how many back packs she made for underprivileged kids? I’m sure we all have something special that she made for us. I’m thankful I do!! We love you all and are so deeply sorry for your (our)loss!! Bill & Kathy
