May 22, 1958 –  April 29, 2009  Michelle Rae Brezina, or â??Gooseâ? as her two children, John and Sarah, lovingly called her, was like a mother to all she met. She had a pure and humble presence about her that would make anyone feel right at home. Her smile and laughter could brighten up any room.
Michelleâ??s warmth and kindness extended to the community. She was very sincere and genuine in the way she treated those around her. She deeply cared about others which showed through the various jobs she held. She was a Caregiver for several families which was an extension of her life. She had a selfless giving spirit and listened with her heart while at the same time offering her support when needed.

Michelle was very creative. She could take an assortment of material and magically transform each piece into a beautiful quilt which would become a tapestry of the personâ??s life. She made the family home warm and cozy, a reflection of her welcoming spirit.

She put her energy into raising two beautiful children which were the center of her life. She raised them with the knowledge that they should always follow their dreams and love with all their hearts. She had said that one day she looked forward to being together with them in heaven with the Lord, whom she loved so dearly. This was her hope and prayer for all.

â??I want to celebrate her life and remember all the wonderful memories we shared the last 30 yearsâ?, her husband Michael said. He wants her beautiful spirit to be remembered and to live on in those whose lives she has touched in a very special way.

Michelle was born on May 22, 1958 in Fresno, California and passed away on April 29, 2009 in Whitesboro.

She is survived by her husband Michael, children, Sarah and John Brezina, her father and step-mother, Gordon and June Engelman, brothers, Scott and Greg Engelman, mother in law, Julie Brezina, sisters in law, Karen Kretschmann, Anne Wojanis, Breeze Chanti, Diane Klinkiewicz, and her adopted Texas family, the Cecil family of Sadler.
