Michele was a gentle, caring lady. These qualities were evident in her teaching. She had a positive attitude and a worked really well with others. I'm really sad that she is no longer with us. My deepest sympathies to all the family.

A wonderful friend since school days, I am so sad to know that she has passed on. She was one of the most genuine, warm and down to earth people I know and even though we didn't see each other often enough due to my being away for so long, she always had a special place in my heart. Love and condolences to Geoff, Jess and Natalie and the extended family.

David and I were very sorry to hear Michele had passed away. She was such a warm, friendly, caring lady and you were both wonderful neighbours. We were at our daughter Gemma's in Upper Hutt when you gave us the sad news Geoff.
Gemma was a young girl when you lived next door but she remembered being asked over by Michele when Jessica was born to have a cuddle.
Our love and thoughts are with you Geoff, the girls, their partners and your little Grandie at this difficult time. May your memories of Michele warm your hearts always.
Love from the Hydes xx
