We are shocked and saddened to inform you that our beloved Marie Michael, FCA Insurance Liaison and faithful team member of some 23 years, passed away unexpectedly due to a brain aneurysm at 4:30pm on Monday, January 16th.We find words inadequate to express how much we have treasured knowing Marie and working with her as she served all in the FCA so well and with a proud passion for chiropractic.
If we could physically call each member she has helped personally, we would do so, and we apologize for this abrupt notice.However, many will want to honor Marie and we were sure that you would want to know about services and other family requests as quickly as possible.Please pass the word to your colleagues who may not be checking their e-mail on a regular basis.We will deem it a privilege to honor Marie in the FCA Journal, giving more details about her stellar professional career, her surviving family members, and comments from those who knew her best.
Marie did so much for so many of you with your insurance problems that we felt you need to be aware that a chiropractic scholarship is being established in her name by the Florida Chiropractic Foundation. We felt that many would like to participate in honor of her memory and all she did to help every FCA member.
If you would like to participate, simply make your check payable to the Florida Chiropractic Foundation and note on the check that it is for the “Marie Michael Scholarship Fund.” Your gift will be completely tax deductible. Send your check to the FCF at the address below. We plan to include a list of donors in future FCF ads published in the FCA Journal. We will also make her family aware of donations received.
We will continue to miss Marie, but, we want you to know that the FCA staff and leadership are doing everything we can to make sure your insurance questions are being taken care of. The FCA will have a new insurance liaison on staff in the very near future to take full-time care of this very important service to you. We covet and appreciate your support in this and every endeavor.
