Death creates heartache, which only time can heal. Love creates memories, which no one can steal. Kayla and Abby, your Mom's face would light up every time she spoke about you. She was so very proud of both of you. As long as you keep her memories alive, she will always be at your side. Rest in peace Michele. Tony Lecane
Eric George left a message on October 5, 2022:
So sad to hear about the passing of Michele. My thoughts and prayers go out to the Kulikowski and Smith family. Michele and I attended A.C.A together and I have so many incredible memories of her. She always was so full of joy and happiness and always seemed to have a smile on her face. The bus rides, basketball games and “adventures” through A.C.A’s hidden places will always be great memories I have of her. Rest easy Michele.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.
Jimmy Rutter left a message on October 5, 2022:
Words cannot describe how much Michele meant to me and my family. I wish I could write an entire essay dedicated to her on this little condolence message, but I don't know if my heart could take it. So, I suppose I'll keep this somewhat brief. I knew from the very first time I saw you that you were a very special person. And as the more I got to know you the more I realized just how unbelievably kind you were. Very self-sacrificing, and always putting others before herself. I feel like we knew each other for more than just about 9 brief years, but in a way, it felt like a lifetime, full of many memories I will forever cherish. In a way, I always considered you not just a friend, but like another "Mom" to me. I love you, and I will forever miss you. My condolences to the whole Kulikowski family. Michele thought the world of each and every one of you.
Corey Rutter left a message on October 5, 2022:
Michele was truly one of the greatest people I’ve ever met. She was my brother Jimmy’s aid for a long time and she went above and beyond helping not just my brother, but my entire family and myself. I could talk to her about anything wether it would be our personal struggles, random pop culture, her concerts she went to throughout her life that made me so jealous, etc. She had a smile that could light up the entire room and a soul so kind and giving. Words can’t describe how strong Michele was. I’m struggling writing this and there’s so much more I could go on and on about how truly amazing she was. She was such a beautiful person and a loving wife, mother, and friend. We love you Michele, with all our hearts, you’re at peace.
Kristin Rutter left a message on October 5, 2022:
Michele, I still can’t believe you’re gone or understand why life can be so cruel. You came to the Rutter family as a caregiver, but became a close friend and a “second mom”. We’re so lucky and grateful you came into our lives when you did. Many times we laughed until we cried or just cried. I miss your voice, smile, companionship-so many things- and wish I could have erased your suffering and made things right. Thank you for everything, Michele. I love you. To your family: we are so deeply sorry-Michele loved you all so very much, and anyone as loved as she was truly lives forever in our hearts. Always.

Dear Family, No words can express how sorry I am to hear about Michelle. I will continue to keep you all in My Prayers and truly believe she is with our God now. May God put his arms around you and bring you some comfort in this very hard time. God Bless,Jonny Phillips
Ava Rutter left a message on October 4, 2022:
Michele, the world is frighteningly less bright without you in it. 9 or so years ago, you swiftly became a part of our family and dealt with all of us for hours each day, 5 days a week. Anybody who knows us knows Michele is a saint for that. More than just Jimmy’s aid, you were a dear friend to all of us Rutter’s. I will never find the words to describe how grateful we are for having known you. I am so sorry to her family. If there was one thing Michele loved talking about the most to us, it was probably how proud she was of her kids. We love you so much Michele, we will miss you so, so greatly.
