My darling little girl who became a fantastic woman! The bright star that has been dimmed much too soon. I loved her so. The loss is so devastating.
Dearest Joe, Ben and Tom,

My friend since grade school – I’m beyond sadness that she’s not with us now. The loss her parents, husband and son’s loss is unimaginable to me. I hope time eases your pain, but I know it will never go away.
Our deepest sympathy to the entire family. We will always remember the happy smiling girl who was a part of our extended family as she was growing up. I know she is watching over all of us from a better place.
We are so very sorry for your loss. You are in our thoughts and we are praying for strength and peace for all of you.
Love, Dawn, Mike, Alexandra and Christopher Daugherty
There are no words! We watched her evolve from a peppy little girl in pigtails to a professional to a wife and mother. She made Gregg Anne a cross stitch pillow and it was all “Z”–really lovely and not a stitch out of place. When our daughter changed her last name she passed the pillow with the upper case ‘E’ on to us…daily we think of Michelle as the pillow now resides with us.
Dear Steve, I am so sorry to hear the sad news of your wife’s passing. Having just lost my dear husband, I know that this can be a very lonely and confusing time. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. May you find peace and comfort in your memories of happy times together. Michelle sounds like a wonderful gal. She will undoubtedly guide and look over you in days and years to come. Sally
My heart goes out to you, Steve, and family at this very difficult time. I remember so well what a warm welcome you and Michelle gave me when I moved next door to you many years ago. May God be near to bring you comfort, strength and peace.
I am very sorry to hear that you have lost your daughter. I can’t imagine your sorrow John. Please extend Karen and my condolences to the rest of your family
