Michele was a kind and giving person who touched our lives in such a special way. Her battle was long and her cross difficult to bear, but her faith and strength were unwavering. She gave hope and inspiration to others and showed us that with suffering can also come joy. For, although our hearts are filled with sadness at her passing, we find happiness in remembering her sweet smile, her childlike laughter and the pleasure she found in the simplest, most insignificant things. Michele loved deeply and was deeply loved. She will be greatly missed.
