I was deeply saddened to learn of Michelle's passing. We worked together at PTC for several years and then continued our friendship after we moved on, meeting at Capers for lunch, going to a movie, or having long phone conversations. My thoughts are with you all.

I am deeply saddened to learn of Michelle's death. She and I were at UCA and PTC together. Michelle was smart, funny, acerbic, thoughtful, challenging, observant, and kind. As a teacher she was competent, compassionate, and committed to helping her students learn. She loved Britt and their sons,Tristan and Garrett, with a fierce intensity. Michelle made me laugh and made me cry, and I will miss her.
