i was so sorry to hear of Michelle's passing. My son gave me the news and it brought so many memories. I remember Michelle as an excellent young person with so much character. I loved having her on my soccer team. She was a beautiful young lady who always gave 100% and treated her team members with respect and courtesy. My sincere condolences go out to her parents and family.

Michelle was my neighbor and friend for 10 years. I was devastated to learn she passed away suddenly. I miss her laugh, smile, friendly face, funny stories and love of life. She loved my moms homemade English Toffee... may her family find peace. - Dan

The Smer family is one of the kindest I've ever known. Michelle embodied the warmth and love that is inherent in all of the family members. I never got the chance to connect with her as an adult but I know she was a beautiful, warm and caring woman. I know the family is devastated and I wish them a path to peace. I love you all. XOO Mary

Michelle always had a smile and a kind word. I fondly remember her and Jack going out for their daily walks. It was tragic when Jack died and Michelle missed him terribly. She was so full of life and yet always had the time to stop and talk. I miss her.

Words can't express the sympathy I have for your loss. May the family find comfort in Gods word at Jude 1: 20,21."But you, beloved ones, build yourselves up on your most holy faith, and pray with holy spirit,in order to keep yourselves in God's love, while you await the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ with everlasting life in view." May God keep the family in his care.
