I was so shocked and sad when I heard the news. My heart goes out to your family.
Michele was my roommate for 3 years after high school. We had a lot of fun during that time and I will always the cherish those memories. Merd was always happy, smiling and such a bright shining star. I’m in complete shock that she’s gone and feeling very sad that she won’t be able to see her adorable son grow up.
Omgosh!!!!! I’m so sad and mad right now!!!!! I would love to hear any stories 778-215-3561
thank-you It totally sucks!!!!!! Jaxon needs to know how many people appreciated/loved/needed her/will miss her!!!! Cherie
I am so saddened by this news. Sending all my love and deepest sympathy. ❤
I will remember this friend with happiness and light. We were young friends. She and her cousin Debbie were friends throughout childhood. I am so sad more than I can say.. death is for the old and not for the young.. we are forever young. Forever….
Dearest Cherie, Jaxon & Family,
We are sorry to hear of passing of Michele.
Our hearts are saddened by your loss and our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Thinking of you and your family during this very sad time.
Merd’s warmth, kindness and gentle spirit will be remembered forever. Mike, Dallis and I have many found memories of Merd. She was an amazing aunt to Dallis. I feel blessed to have shared so many great experiences with her. We spent countless hours at Jack Seaton Park either playing on “The Crushers” softball team or sitting up on the hill under the trees watching ball until our supplies ran out and then we would head down to “Willys” for pizza bread. We also had many adventures at the cabin at Beaver Lake. We would ride our sleds day and night, wiping out so many times and somehow, we never got hurt. I will also never forget our eventful trip to Disneyland in 1989. Thank you Merd for all the laughs and memories, you will be greatly missed and never forgotten.
So sad for the loss of a dear cousin. Love and prayers to the family. The Resch family
Sorry for your loss neighbour! If there is anything we can do for you or Jaxon please let us know!
Jaxon, Cherie and family;
Thinking of you all with a heavy heart. You have suffered such a terrible loss. I’ m sure today, Michele’s birthday, was extra tough for your entire family.
Love,
Cousin Jaki and family.
We are so saddened by this shocking news. Our thoughts and prayers are with Jaxon and family. Annette, Aidan and I would like to attend the service on Saturday. What time is it?
Miss you Cuz…still not real…still asking why….
Remembering a fun trip to Disneyland , she painted our Coquitlam home before we sold it . She always respected my kids and played with them , countless board games , making giant bedsheet tents downstairs , and picking flowers with them on afternoon walks . We will miss her, however, I cherish the moments we had with her. I will always remember her wonderois smile .
That’s wonderous …….. of course !
