    I still can’t believe this happened and so soon after my father’s passing. Michelle always treated me as if I was her own son and we had a special bond. I will miss going over and sitting out on the patio listening to music, or watching a movie together. Michelle was always there for anyone that needed a helping hand or someone to talk to and I will miss that. But I know she missed my father dearly and at least they are together again so I take comfort in knowing that. R.I.P. Michelle, love Mont.

    Dear Monte and Jamie, I am terribly sorry to hear about the passing of your stepmother. While we have not met, I do remember your dad, how wonderful he was to Michelle, and how much happiness they brought to each other.
    Michelle was my godmother since she was 20 years old, and I have very happy memories of my times with her when I was a child. I remember spending time with Michelle and her parents (doing puzzles and being fed delicious desserts and treats), her love of animals, how she was so kind and how she searched for kindness in return, which she finally found in Monte. She was a wonderful and good person who I will miss.
