Hi everyone-

I am saddened to make today's post. Saddened because over the weekend the world tragically lost a great person, friend, mother and educator.

In an act of senseless violence Michelle was lost and in a split second worlds turned upside down.

She will be missed by everyone who had the opportunity to meet her, be her friend, or learn from her.

Tonya and I met Michelle over six years ago when she began working for us at Almost Home Child Care Center. Michelle was a fantastic addition to the center.

She quickly became part of the AH family and put her all into everything she did. Not only was she just a great person she was a wonderful educator. One of the best we've ever had.

Michelle was full of energy and was up to any challenge that came her way. She always did what she thought was best for the kids, she stood up for them, she nurtured them and most importantly, she loved them.

Michelle had decided to stay home with her kids for a while and left the center and we missed her. Cheryl, her sister continues to teach at our center and our hearts and love go out to her and her family.

Michelle left behind three boys at home.

Rest in peace, Michelle, rest in peace...
