Michele Gibson will be dearly missed…

June 22, 2009greatshapeincUncategorized

Great Shape! Inc. has lost one of our beloved sisters. Founder Gretchen Lee’s daughter, Michele Gibson, left the Great Shape! family on June 18th of a pulmonary embolism. Michele carried and expressed her love through teaching English as a Learned Language (ELL) in Portland, Ore. at Parkrose High School. With her passion for helping others, she even encouraged one of her students to shadow a local dentist and donate over 600 toothbrushes to 1000 Smiles! (*Please stay tuned for more details on this story.)

Michele’s seven-year-old daughter, Isabelle, will dearly miss her mother but has a strong support system of a father, step-mother, ‘aunties’, and grandparents.

Today, I encourage you to tell your loved ones how much they mean to you; life is incredibly too short. Michele and her family will be in our prayers… may you all find peace.
