Visitation Information

"My cousin Michele… Unfortunately with me being the youngest kid in our childhood, and living in different states most of our lives, I didn’t get a chance to really connect with all of my cousins. But blood is blood and family is family. What I did know and got to see was a happy and kind soul. You raised great kids, and provided light, happiness, and support for all of your family and friends. The Grace & Eaton families lost a great mom, wife, daughter, sister, aunt, and cousin too early. My love and prayers are going out strong for her and everyone else reeling from this. I have no doubt that. Michele will continue to work her magic for everyone who loved her from above now. My love and condolences to Uncle Mike, Karen, Julie. Kelly, Bob, Mason, & Morgan. My heart goes out to you and pray for strength and happy memories, Love, Ryan ❤️"

Love you forever, Your cousin, Toni"

"Anybody that knew her well enough. Knows this woman was a rock. Not the kind that’s as big as an island. But the kind that you could carry around in your pocket with you forever as the prettiest rock you ever found. She touched so many lives in her life. She was an absolute queen at making people laugh. She was the ultimate shoulder to lean on. Anybody that knows far enough back to the backstory of Michele and I, knows that from the very first time I met her I knew she was the one. She always used to joke about how I was such a sap back then. And she knew that I didn’t wear my emotions on my sleeve but she always knew when I needed a hug or a kiss. A common friend set us up on a blind date, July 17, 1997. We spent the next two days together and it took a pretty slick move on in my part. But on night two, I managed to sneak a kiss. And within three weeks of being together, I stood on a boat in Lake Michigan, with her, barely knowing her. But knowing that this was the woman, I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. And I told her that. That night. She probably thought I was a lunatic. I told her that I loved her that night and no matter what was going on in our lives. I always told her that. I know there are many more people than me that are devastated by this tragic event. And we will all somehow get through with the help from each other. But none of us will ever be able to have the glow or the laugh or the VOLUME, that the love of my life had. I know she’s gonna get tired of telling me how to do things from such a distance. But just know that no matter how tired she was she always kept helping people. And I know I’ve got her babies to take care of, so that’s why if she’s too busy to answer your request at the time, she’s busy helping me. We will all be there for each other. And I know this is gonna make people cry. But she was good for listening when you needed to. All I can say to my angel is thank you. I love you, Michele."
