If we could bring you back again,
For one more hour or day,
We’d express all our unspoken love;
We’d have countless things to say.
If we could bring you back again,
We’d say we treasured you,
And that your presence in our lives
Meant more than we ever knew.
If we could bring you back again,
To tell you what we should,
You’d know how much we miss you now,
And if we could, we would.Joanna FuchsMichelle E. Michaud...a wonderful mother, wife, daughter, sister and dear friend to many, passed away on June 27, 2008. Michelle always wanted to be remembered as happy and outgoing. You may post a note, memory or photo to share with her family and friends. Michelle will live forever in our memories and hearts.
ELEGY: Friday, June 27, 2008...I said goodbye to my beautiful wife of 17 years...Michelle. She underwent a routine surgery to install a port so that she would be able to receive her upcoming chemotherapy treatments more easily (she had been fighting a rare form of cancer on and off for the past 27 years). Complications following the surgery led to her death later that evening. It's hard to see what the future holds for my son, Christopher and I at this point, but we are both committed to forging ahead and honoring her memory as much as we are able. For any of you who met or knew Michelle, you know she was an incredible woman whose strength and faith were always an inspiration to those lives she touched... - Randy Michaud
A gathering in honor and celebration of Michelle's life was held on Wednesday, July 2, 2008 from 2:00 to 7:00 p.m. at Vicki Hill's house in Cave Creek, AZ. Many of those whose lives were touched by Michelle were present and many wonderful stories were shared to the comfort of all who loved her. The celebration was culminated by an extremely moving rendition of "Amazing Grace" played on bagpipes.
In lieu of flowers, a memorial account has been established for the benefit of Michelle's son, Christopher, for his college education. Michelle placed a high value on education and it was her fervent wish that Christopher would someday attend college.
