I will take you in my heart when I listen to Hauser expertly play his cello at the Paramount Theater in Seattle this June.  Our phone friendship while handling APTA and Washington Chapter business, especially during the uncertainty of the pandemic, will always be a blessing to me. What a warm, kind and faithful soul I knew in you, though we never met. Rest in peace, dear one.

Michele was one of the most kind, sweet, caring and compassionate people I’ve ever met.  I worked with her at APTA for over 11 years and I don’t think I ever saw her without a smile on her face.  That smile lit up every room she walked in and you couldn’t help but smile back. She absolutely adored her son Freddie and never missed an opportunity to share a story with me about him. I remember when I was pregnant with my first child and Michele talking with me about how much she loved being a mother and reassuring me that motherhood would be so wonderful and helping to calm any nerves I had. 

I’m so thankful that I was fortunate enough to know Michele and I send my deepest condolences to her family, friends and loved ones.

I had the privilege of working with Michele at APTA for over 15 years. She was an incredibly sweet, wonderful, kind, and caring person. Our birthdays were just a few days apart, and we were born in the same year. We always made it a point to reach out to each other and share how we planned to celebrate. Michele was my go-to person in member services, and she often turned to me with her questions.

One thing was certain: Freddie was the light of her life. She spoke of him often, and her love for her son was unmistakable. He was her world.

Sending Freddie, Michele's brother Christopher, and his wife lots of love and strength during this difficult time.

My deepest condolences to Freddie and the family.  A beautiful spirit gone to soon.  Rest in peace, Beautiful.

What a great loss, not only to APTA but to the world. I'll remember our jokes, your laughter and sense of humor. Our great talks and to hear all the things that were coming down the pipeline for Freddy!! YOU will be missed. Sleep well, my Friend!!

Before Michele became an APTA employee, she worked as a travel agent with an onsite office in APTA's Headquarters. She assisted APTA staff and members with air travel, car rental, and hotel accommodations.  When an opportunity presented itself, Michele joined the APTA staff in the Member Services Department. She was such a bright light and positive energy! She loved the British Royalty and was frequently found "jetting off to London" for a long weekend.  She so loved her her son, Fred. She was a proud Mama who enjoyed bragging about her son, his education, his personal success. I will miss you, Little Missy! Rest in peace.

Michele was a bright light of kindness and a person who showed love and acceptance to every person she encountered. God bless her. My deepest condolences to Michele’s loved ones. She was so pure and so beautifully loving.

RIP Cuz, I wish we could have stayed in touch some other way than besides Facebook. I still can’t believe I found me and my brothers baby picture in a photo album at an estate sale at your parents house after your Dad passed! That’s the only way I knew it was your parents home!

Michele and I were colleagues for over 20 years and I have never met someone as sweet, kind and loving as her. If I could add up the hours we've spent talking about life, our children, the Royal family or the latest celebrity gossip it would total up to years. I admired her love and dedication to her job and how she handled everyone she spoke with in a professional manner. So much so that most VIP members would request to speak to her directly because they knew she would handle their needs with the best care. To Freddie you were the absolute apple of her eye and your Mom made sure to let the world know it. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. May God comfort and strengthen you in these upcoming days as you lay her to rest. Michele I will miss you friend but I'm grateful to know you're resting in our Father's hands. I Love you forever Doll❤️
