corpsband Posted September 18, 2016 Author Share Posted September 18, 2016 (edited) Does anyone know an address for Jeff? I'd like to send a note. And if there's a preferred organization to send a donation Ito honor Michrlle's memory, that information would be much appreciated as well. This is incredibly sad news. Love and prayers for Jeff and all who knew and loved Michelle. Friends, (edited) The world has changed. Michelle's smile is lost from our lives. We all miss her dearly already. We need to help Jeff and his family (Owens and Sacktig) pay for the arrangements... I am sure that this will eventually turn into a scholarship fund, but right now this is the next step. We need your help. We all loved her so dearly... Our hearts are broken, but her spirit lives in all of us... Please help. https://www.gofundme.com/26wxfafw for people looking for more info, please go to this FB group and ask to join. https://www.facebook.com/groups/767991493327689/ Edited September 18, 2016 by corpsband Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soccerguy315 Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Hi everyone! In the wake of the news of Michelle's passing, our project is shifting to a different goal. After talking with Jeff today, he'd like to put together a collection of stories, notes, great memories, and photos of Michelle and her family and friends. It will be a Book of Remembrances. We will make two copies of a nicely bound book--one for Michelle to take with her, and one for Jeff to keep. If you would like to share something for the project (stories, memories, messages, or photos), please feel free to email them to ricksubel@gmail.com. We would like to collect them all by Tuesday, September 20, so we have time to format the book and put into production, and be completed by Friday. Many of you have already posted some beautiful thoughts, stories, and memories on your own Facebook Pages and on Smiles for Michelle that would be perfect for this project. Feel free to forward us any of those as well. We are asking that any and everyone share this request among the vast circles of friends, family, students, and peers that knew and loved Michelle. Know that nothing will be posted on social media. It will go directly from email, to print, to Michelle and Jeff. Thank you all! https://www.facebook.com/groups/1621629714796942/permalink/1621661161460464/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
