  2. Michelle was one of the sweetest people God allowed to cross my path. I am so sorry she is no longer on this earth, but I rejoice with the angels at her arrival in the presence of the Lord. Rebecca, David and the rest of the family, my prayers are with you.

  3. So sorry to read this. Michelle was such a sweet & special person. I had the privilege of meeting her, when she worked for me while I was out on maternity leave. This was 27 years ago with the phone company. She was a quick learner & I enjoyed getting to know her. I still have an angel she made for me that I use on my Christmas tree every year. I would see her from time to time, but it had been quite a while since I last saw her. May your memories, as well as those of her friends help you in the days to come. I picture her pain free & with a strong body in her heavenly home. RIP Michelle

  4. I’m so very sorry to hear this news. Michelle was a dear friend and mentor to me during my teenage years. I spent many hours in the Conert home. I regret that I will not be able to be at the service tomorrow. I would like the chance to see everyone, especially David and Rebecca. I’m so glad we were all able to run into each other from time to time to stay caught up. Michelle was a wonderful person and will be missed by everyone that had the pleasure of knowing her.

  7. I just heard of Michelle’s passing today and was so saddened to hear it. She was truly a good person and a joy to know. I enjoyed working with her and have lots of good memories of our days together at the phone company. We were always talking about her animals, what a heart she had for them. I am thankful that the Lord brought our paths together. My prayers are with you Rebecca and your family.
