Condolences
My condolences to your family, I did not know your daughter personally, but was moved by her artwork and courageous spirit. May your memories be of comfort to you in your bereavement. A tragic loss-an unfair illness that has affected too many exceptional women. Respectfully, Carrie Bianchi, Secretary to President Schwarz, Purchase College.
My heart goes out to each and everyone of you. I was blessed by meeting Michelle, She brought much love and joy to everyone. I am deeply sorry.

If either of you are ever by our home and have the time, we would love to see you. Kindest regards, Randy and Lucci

May God comfort you during this difficult time. Our prayers are with you and your family during this time.
To Michelle's mother and father, to Gordon, and John, I wish you comfort in these difficult hours and days. May those who love Michelle and each of you, care for you and give you the love they knew for your Michelle in her stead. There is no time in your lives when you will forget her, and so she will never leave you. But the absence of her smile and beauty beside you will change your lives and be replaced with an image of her as you have always known her. The waiting and the fear that she will slip from your minds is unfounded, but as natural as breathing. Our grief is the process that transforms a life to a living memory that will never leave us. Love each other, and know that you are so loved by those around you.
You are in my prayers in this holiday season and always for the gift of your daughter to the world.

I hope that the memories of all Michelle's accomplishments in her few short years, in time, will settle over you like a warm, comforting blanket. May family & friends surround you with love. I am so sorry for your loss. Dawn Mewhorter

So upset when I read this in the paper. Meeting Mary and John in birthing class, giving birth two days apart and keeping in contact all these years, I feel like she was a part of us also. So, so sorry for your loss. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. RIP Michelle!
Your family is in our thoughts and prayers. Please let us know if you need anything.

Dear Mary,John,Gordy and the MacNaught family,
Words can't express how I feel at this time. Michelle was my pride and joy as a teacher. Her art talent and creativity had no equal in my 33 years of teaching. Michelle was a wonderful person who I enjoyed every moment being with. Her spirit will forever be part of my life.
Our thoughts & prayers go out to The MacNaught family & friends of Michelle. Rest In Peace Sweet Angel.
My sincere condolences.
I was recently introduced to Michelle through her artwork via the Leo Koenig show and feel very fortunate to have been in attendence. Her talent and fortitude was evident the moment I laid eyes on her work. Rarely have I been so immediately affected by someone's work... and I didn't know her story until later.
Though I did not know Michelle, I am very proud to have briefly met her and its something I will always remember.
Much love to you during this difficult time.

Though we have never meet in person, I feel we knew you through your cousin Kristen. Our heart breaks for your family, but know you are now among the angels, beautiful Michelle! God bless you ALL, Our thoughts and prayers to everyone.
To the MacNaught family - we are saddened by the lost of a beautiful girl, but glad we had the chance to know her. In her life, she seemed to have accomplished so many things! We are so happy that she was able to attend her art show, and that we spent time with you on the Cape. Stay strong, MacNaughts! xo
