I'm so very sorry for your loss. Michelle worked for us at Seniors as a caregiver, and she was a sweet caring person. I spoke to her often. May she rest in the sweetest peace.

My deepest condolences to the family of Michelle and to the family of Camp Bow Wow. My dogs have been regular campers at Camp Bow Wow for many years. Michelle always greeted us with a warm smile and genuine kindness and caring. She always took the time to reassure us. She always offered to help with any requests. She offered to help us so many times, in so many ways. We shared some of our own personal feelings. She was a wonderful person and we will miss her dearly. May she rest in peace, knowing all that she did for so many of us. All of our love and gratitude to her, always. Love, Eileen, Abe and Betty

I was honored to meet Ms. Michelle through Camp Bow Wow. Even though my time with her were only for moments at a time, her golden spirit shined through. She always greeted me and my furbaby with a warm smile. Our “cruise talks” will be missed.
My deepest condolences to her family, Camp Bow Wow family and friends. Please remember, it’s not a goodbye, but see you later.

There are people who come into your life that are meant to leave.
Then there are people who come into your life and plant themselves in your heart. That was Michelle.
My sincere condolences to you Kelly, Michael, and your families.
While your loss is immeasurable I pray the love she left behind will help guide you through this difficult time.

So sorry to hear of Michelle’s passing. She was a kind and gentle soul. Our Brittany Jake is a client at Camp Bow Wow. He is actually there now.
She always called me Kate “Marinara” and Jake was Jake Marinara. I will miss her for sure!
Best wishes and thoughts to your family. Stay strong.

I’m very sad about the passing of Michelle. I met her a few years ago when I took my dog , Abby, to the camp.
Abby has been there quite a few times. She was a warm, caring, friendly person and always very helpful. My condolences to her family and friends!

Your mom and grandma was a wonderful soul. My dog Oscar started going to camp bow wow almost 10 years ago. Your mother always made us feel like part of the family. She always said how handsome Oscar was and there was no other dog like him. She knew me by name always when on phone or email or in person. I know she was like this with everyone she met and made everyone feel special. She will surely be missed.
Love, Janet & Ron Hermann
And always, Oscar

I am so sorry to hear about Michelle. When I first brought our dog to Camp Bow Wow, I was so hesitant to leave Ollie for the week when we went on vacation. Michelle totally put me at ease and now Ollie goes every summer when we travel. She will be missed. Condolences to her family. She was an amazing woman!
