"Lit a candle in memory of Michelle Helene Ritchey"

"Michelle was my youngest step sister and she was a light spirit as a child and an adult. She always cheered us up with her laughter and little jokes with her humorous perspective. I know she loved her husband and children dearly and must have had so much fun with them in Los Banos. I never forget her and her dimples. Our family loved her a lot. She always seemed to be so positive and could "roll with the punches"! She will always be greatly missed. Antoinette Candelaria"

"Michelle was a Beautiful person inside and out. She had a contagious laugh and a radiant smile that made everyone feel at home. She was so caring and loving towards everyone and loved watching and supporting the kids in every sport and activity that was going on. She was thoughtful and willing to help with anything that would be supportive of the kids sports. We are so sorry for your loss, We will miss our friend Michelle. You're in our thoughts and Prayers.
