Knowing that your in our hearts, thoughts and prayers help you and yours through this time of sorrow.
With deepest sympathy…
I am so sorry to hear about Mich. I knew her when my husband went to college at WSU and she and I became very good friends. She took me out on my 21st birthday and we had lots of fun. I last saw her when I lived in Puyallup 25 years ago. I just had my 2nd child and she brought my 3 year old son a king size candy bar and she made him feel that he was the reason she came over, since she had said she knew having a new baby and all the attention the baby would get could make him feel left out. She played with him for over an hour and he cried when she left. She was a wonderful, thoughtful friend. My prayers go out to the family. God bless.
Way too young. I am so sorry. I hope you take comfort that the gift she gave will change peoples’ lives.A father or mother will see their children, another will breathe, another will no longer be tied to a kidney machine, others lives will be changed .That does not ease your pain but I hope it helps as time passes.
We will never know why we just have to accept.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.
I will forever miss my cuz, my little sis! Her warm smile, her laugh, her love!
I love you forever Micheline!

Please know Seve and Mary Jane how my heart goes out to you. I know how hard this time is for you and I have learned you take “one day at a time” – and hopefully before long the sun will shine for you. Please know I am here for anything that you or your family need.l
Even as a child Micheline loved to help. We will forever remember our fun times at the farm and the many ways she helped us by babysitting, playing with the boys and helping out around the house each time we had a baby. What a joy she was. Her beautiful smile brightened our days. We will miss the sound of her laughter and her happy voice when she would come into the room and say “Hi Uncle Mark, Hi Auntie Suzie”.
We are keeping you all in our prayers. We loved her very much!
My cuz; she was there encouraging us at both my parents funerals. She shared her joy and laughter with us all. I look forward to seeing her again.
Our prayers go out to everyone as we all grieve the loss of Micheline. She touched so many lives and will be dearly missed!
Dear Steve, Mary Jane, Mike and Family:
You are in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. We will always remember Micheline’s love for flowers and springtime—each year she would ask us what kind of flowers we wanted her to pick-up for spring planting. We now realize what a meaningful tradition she created beginning in 2005.
So, this year… we want to plant “her favorite flowers” in tribute to her life, and her love and enthusiasm for springtime and flowers…
Rest in Peace Micheline, you will be missed.

Rest in Peace
To Mich’s family, so sorry for your loss. We rented from your family and glad we had such good Landlords.
To the Gambrielles, I am so sorry to hear of Michelines passing. My mother rented from you when Iwas young, and I rented from you for about 5 years also. Micheline was always so helpful, and always had an ear open if Ineeded. She was happy for us when we purchased our own home, and I will always remember her as a great landlord, and friend.
To the Gambriell gamily I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Micheline. My grandparents, Bill and Gladys Rosatto were neighbors of yours when you lived at Marine Hills in Federal Way. I am their grandaughter Linda Marie and I spent much time over at your home when I was spending the weekends visiting my grandparents. We spent much time over across the fence in the next lot getting into all sorts of mishief and also tormenting her brother Michael. We lost track of each other and I missed Micheline when you all moved. From reading the other posts to the guest book Micheline was a much loved person and will be greatly missed.
