I had the privilege to work with Michele for the past year and a half. We shared so many laughs and good times that it seems much longer. I feel truly special that she chose me to work with her. She was serious about her work. She cared about it intensely, and she wanted me to, too. She was, hands down, the best boss a person could have. When I accepted the position and she offered to come in on the weekend before I started to help me move in and decorate my office, I knew I was going to be working with someone really special. I was right. I was constantly amazed by her quick wit, her confidence, and the amazing speed at which she was able to grasp things. But more than a great boss and attorney, she was a wonderful person and friend as well. She truly cared about other people. She lit up every room she ever entered. She had the ability to make other people feel good, which is a rare and priceless quality. I will miss her deeply. Steven, Dillon, and all of the family, my heart goes out to you. May God give you strength and courage now, and comfort you in the days ahead.
