Dearest Micaela, You will be missed by so many. I know God has raised you up to heaven. I enjoyed working with you for 20 years at APS. Your intellect and sense of humor were an inspiration to me. I enjoyed the many laughs we had together. In the picture I missed the pencil in your hair which seemed always present.
I thank God for Micaela’s life.
God’s blessing to her family
