Love is patient, love is kind, love has no envy, love does not boast, love is not proud. Michelle was the personification of love. She lived her faith daily and never wavered. Michelle was a truly remarkable woman who will always be remembered.

I worked with Michelle on a number of occasions at Warminster hospital. I really liked her. I was sad to learn of her passing. My thoughts are with her husband and children. I hope they will continue to find joy in life-- just as Michelle would have wanted. My condolences to her family.

Michelle always had a smile on her face and she was a wonderful mentor for many students. She touched the lives of so many of us here at Tennent and we truly miss her. My thoughts and prayers are with Michelle's family during this difficult time. Rest in peace, Michelle.

Angelo,
We were very saddened to here about your mom's passing. Although, we never had the opportunity to meet her, from what we've read in the Guest Book, she was someone that really lived each day to the fullest.
When we lose someone we love, it seems that time stands still. Our hearts go out to you and your family in this difficult time.
From the minute our niece Melinda introduced you to us, you became a part of our family. Please know that you are very loved and supported.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

I can still remember meeting Michelle almost a year before she and my nephew Tony got married. Her smile was genuine, her inner-peace radiated, and you couldn't help but love her too. I recall going home that day thinking "what a beautiful person, inside and out."

Even though we didn't know each other well, our children - your son, Angelo and my daughter, Melinda - gave us a connection. We had such a good time when they took us to the movies on Mother's Day. I knew through him, what a good and loving person your were. I was really touched when you watched my granddaughter, Kaiya, last summer during school break. She loved going to your home and being with Camy and Kayla. I miss you so much already. I know you were looking forward, as I was, to Angelo and Melinda's wedding. I know you will be looking down and blessing us from heaven. May the Lord bless and keep your family.

Michelle always had a smile on her face. She was the last person you saw when you left Tennent each day. It was always a nice way to end a day. God bless her and her family.

I have been torn since I got the news that you are gone. I'm glad that I got to see you before you left us. I'm very happy that I had you in my life. I have wonderful memories of you and I'm really going to miss going back to tennent to see you after school was out at 2:15p. I was going through my wedding pictures and I came across pictures of you and I am so happy that I got to spend my high school years with you and you always kept me out of trouble and you were always there when I need to talk to someone. you always believed in me. I know now you are one of god angels and watching over everybody. you were the best person that anyone could meet. I will truly miss you Mrs. C. You will keep on live in my beautiful memories that I have of you. I will always carry you in my heart. my you rest in peace mrs. c I love you and i'm going to miss you dearly.

I had the pleasure of working with Michelle many times. I first met her while Kayla was in before school care. We just hit it off right away. She was one of the sweetest, loving, compassionate and most genuine people I have ever known. I watched her treat every child the same and mentor so many children. She would help them with any problem and would really listen to what each child had to say. I never heard her raise her voice. She was always very upbeat and positive. She was extremely respected by all the children and adults alike. I am very glad I had the opportunity to become friends with Michelle and I will truly miss that friendship. My prayers go out to her family.

Aunt Michelle will truly be missed. She was a beautiful person inside and out. She was a good aunt in a great mother. She was the type of person that wanted to keep the family together. She made it her business to show up at ever event. The last time i saw aunt Michelle was June,28th at Quamier's graduation. We had such a great time with her as always and when it was time to go she gave everybody a kiss in said her goodbye. I never in a million yrs would have thought that would be the last time I would speak to her. We had so many good times. She's gone but never forgotten and will always be in my heart......

Whenever we visited, I greeted Michelle with a kiss on the cheek because I loved how soft her skin was. She always laughed at her kids' jokes, even when they made no sense (no offense kids!) Michelle was a role model to me for her unwavering faith in God. She was one of the best things that ever happened to my brother (no offense kids!) and our family. I will miss her very much.
