My deepest sympathies to Mr Ian Donald. I met you briefly this year for breakfast at the Heritage and I will hold that moment dearly. Michaela looked so bright and strong that morning and she genuinely wanted to know about Jordan my husband and Logan my son. We shared some memories, some jokes, but most importantly a wonderful morning together. She will be missed. With kind regards – Micka

Good bye dear friend, you are in a better place where there is neither pain nor hurt. No more suffering and exhaustion no more tiredness. Today you are in a better place where your beautiful soul lives on forever and your memory will never be forgotten. I have lost a kind and wonderful friend but I will always appreciate the time you were in my life. You strength and courage have kept you going, but in the end the Lord needed you more. Heaven has gained a wonderful new angel and now you are peace.
I leave you with one word appreciation not just for life but everything and everyone in it. We live hectic lives and time never stops for any man. It’s the people and love that make us who we are and what we believe in. Without this we will never be enriched with experiences. Michaela enriched my life and I thank her for being my life. Rest in peace dear friend.
