In our last conversation, Michele and I laughed so much. She told me that she was getting someone to clean her house. I told her to leave the house when the cleaning lady came so that she wouldn’t be tempted to follow her around cleaning everything again!! She laughed and said that she’d have to stay home to keep an eye on the woman doing the cleaning!!! She was so particular and so brave and so much of an example to everyone who knew her. I know that God is welcoming her through those pearly gates, and I’m sure she’s polishing them before she walks through!!
Ashley,
I’m so sorry for your loss! I have a lot of fond memories of your mom from my childhood and the time you and I spent together. I hope you find peace and comfort. Losing a parent is not easy but she will always be with you!
To Ronnie and Ashley,
You folks are in our thoughts and prayers. Sorry for the loss of you wife and mother.
She is no longer in pain and she is in a better place.
Take care.

The loss of a dear love one in death, is a difficult and painful experience. It is a time when we need comfort. In addition to the comfort we receive from friends and love ones, we can gain comfort from God through prayer. It is my hope that you will find comfort in prayer to “the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our trials.” 2 Corinthians 1:3, 4.
Our deepest sympathy, Ashley and Ronnie… Our thoughts & prayers for comfort and peace are with you both.
We are so sorry Ashley and Ron. Michele was an amazing woman. She will be missed by all who knew her. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Let your memories carry you through this difficult time. Ashley the first time I met your Mom she called you her miracle. God Bless You. Rest in Peace Michele.
Prayers and Thoughts are with you Ron and Ashley, We just heard of Michele’s passing and our heart goes out to the two of you for your loss. We will continue to keep you and your Family in our prayers. Eli and Leah Turner.
Ashley, I am so sorry for your loss. I will never forget your mom playing the mayor’s wife in Bye Bye Birdie! She was such a wonderful lady! Her and my dad are probably laughing it up in Heaven now, entertaining everyone! My prayers are with you, my friend.
Ashley, I just saw your mom’s obituary in the paper and what a shock! I haven’t seen your mom for awhile since I have retired from Rite Aid. When she came in, we had such wonderful conversations. Your mom always made me laugh. I have lots of great memories of her and Chuck in Bye Bye Birdie. When Chuck passed away; she came into Rite Aid and we cried together. What a wonderful, wonderful lady. She will be sorely missed. Just know that you and your family are in my prayers. God bless you.
Ron and Ashley I just saw this on FB from Olivia. I am so sorry for your loss. Michele was one of my favorite people back from the Casey days…..she always made me laugh. I knew she wasn’t doing well lately, but we aren’t living in Weirton and I just missed this. Nobody loved a daughter more than your mother loved you Ashley-she was your biggest fan in all that you did. I know how much you will miss her.
Our family’s thoughts and prayers are with you. God bless.
