A beautiful photo of a beautiful Kind soul. Michelle touched many lives and will be missed by those who knew her. As much as she loved reading Michelle was a rare treasured edition herself.
I like the poem about love endures.
Do not stand
By my grave, and weep.
I am not there,
I do not sleep—
I am the thousand winds that blow
I am the diamond glints in snow
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle, autumn rain.
As you awake with morning’s hush,
I am the swift, up-flinging rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight,
I am the day transcending night.
Do not stand
By my grave, and cry—
I am not there,
I did not die.
Those of us who were lucky enough to know Michelle realize her legacy of Kindness and care will live on in our cherished memories of her.
Brian Edwards says:
I send my sincere condolences to the Vrevich family at this time of loss.
Few members of the faculty and staff of Mahone in its first years enjoyed the level of respect Michelle earned every day. Kindness toward the students and her colleagues characterized her work each day.
Her competence made the library an efficient place of learning while her friendly manner helped each student feel she or he belonged and was welcomed there. Levels of mastery grew as she supported student’s studies.
Several hundred teachers, a few thousand students and at least one Principal were enhanced in their work by the power of her quiet strength and generous friendship.
Carol Knudson says:
A remarkable tribute to someone who enriched our lives. Michelle’s happy outlook and caring attitude made everyone she came in contact with have a better day. She touched many lives and left a lasting impression.
Dan Venne says:
Brian, I couldn’t have said it any better!! Michelle was a true lady with such a sweet, patient, caring manner toward all she met. I so enjoyed the opportunity I had to work along side her at Mahone Middle School. She was a true gem and her kindness was witnessed on a daily basis by students and staff alike. Michelle embodied the Circle of Courage; our guiding principles at Mahone. God bless her.
Diane L. Hilbrink says:
My sympathies go out to the Vrevich family. Michelle made me feel welcome at Mahone. We shared laughs and tears. She was such a gentle soul. I miss working with her.
Those we love don’t go away, they walk beside us every day. Unseen, unheard, but always near, so loved, so missed, so very dear.
Michelle Racicot says:
I am beyond words for this loss that I have just found. My one dearest childhood friend I have and always will cherish. The fun we had building, bike ride adventures, horse rides with Cheif, Christmas, birthdays and always times spent up at the lake. The day we spent together playing for the day in Wisconsin when we lived only hours away was timeless.. My dear friend how I wish we could have seen eachother again. But we will, we will.
Thank you for all your friendship, love and wonderful wonderful memories. You were the Best Friend a little girl could ever have. Michelle Racicot
Donna Gosnell says:
I am very saddened that Michelle left this world so early. I knew her from her San Diego days when our husbands were in the Navy. We lost touch over the years, but she was a very good friend, such a kind and gentle soul. We shared much and kept each other company during our husbands’ deployments. She gave friendship in a sincere and kind way that cannot be forgotten and is always treasured. Rest in peace, Michelle.
