    Please accept my sincere condolences. I was a nurse with Michele at UPMC Braddock. Because of an ongoing cough, I will be unable to make the viewing. You all will be in my thoughts and prayers. RIP Michele.

    Dear Michele……Our angel here on earth. Michele the oldest sibling always had time for her family and others.
    Ron and Michelle were a team! Such a beautiful couple!
    I worked at Kings Restaurant with Michele and also at Braddock Hospital seeing her in the halls in route on the IV team. Michele always had a smile on her face.
    She was the best neighbor snd cared about people.
    When our Mother Nancy passed away 2 years ago Michele helped Lori and I copy our photos for our poster board at the funeral home. She jumped in and was willing to help.
    Michele came to the memorial luncheon and her and Rose Alfieri had their own private table at Luciano’s giggling and catching up. That is the last time I saw Michele and I am very happy I had that special time with her.
    I was going to reach out to Vesta this week and then Lori sent me the news from Carol. We were sad to hear.
    God bless the Zollner and Petrisko families.

    Michele always had a smile, and she had kind words for everyone she met. Her professionalism as a nurse came into
    many conversations. We’ll miss her beautiful smile and friendly conversations.

    My friend Michele, you will always be in my prayers
    I know that you are in the presence of GOD. You will be missed by all the people that loved you and those that you cared about.
    Working with you and Vesta st Braddock Hospital was a wonderful experience. You were both great Nurses. and lots of fun. Michele also took care of my son in the hospital when he passed away it was helpful knowing that she was there with him and there for me. My deepest sympathies to your family.
