There were people, college friends of hers, one friend who had to get back to South Dakota the next morning after driving here from South Dakota. Many friends from the Chicago area. She had a group of college friends that were very close to her.

Peoria officials were worried about a proposed portable sheds business.

Truly interested in people

Theresa Delano said that Thies befriended her at their first meeting.

At our daughters preschool graduation, she told me exactly which house was hers, and that I had an open invitation to her house every Friday night. I would sit in her garage until 2 a.m. if I was going through a hard time. She made you feel like you could just open up because she was so welcoming and interested in people.

Thies attended Normal High School and Southern Illinois University, where she studied psychology, according to her father. She met her husband at Children's Home, where she worked after graduating from college.

She and her husband were a great team. Grieder said that they did a great job with the girls.

She had just started her dream job

All of the marketing materials had been printed a week before she died. Weaver said that when he went to his first presentation after she passed, he opened it up to introduce his team.

Weaver said that Thies was well-liked by everyone on the team, as well as by agents around Peoria.

Weaver said that he was happy whenever he worked with her.

Never minimize long-lasting headaches or unusual neck pain

On the day she died, Weaver was texting Thies. Thies wasn't feeling well the day before, so he was debating whether or not to go to work.

Weaver said that her neck was bothering her, and her vision was blurry.

Thies didn't respond to her headaches immediately.

"Never minimize long- lasting headaches or unusual neck pain," said Thies' father.

According to the Brain Aneurysm Foundation, 1 out of 50 Americans have an unruptured brain aneurysm. 30,000 people in the United States suffer from a brain injury each year. Women over the age of 55 have a higher risk of brain aneurysms than men.

Peoria's city council may let the spirit of Peoria go.

Brandon Thies called Weaver at 9 a.m. after his wife collapsed.

She said he told her he was going to the hospital and would keep her posted. Weaver missed the next call when she was at a client's house.

He was letting me know that she had passed away. I knew I had to let the girls know right away because I was 45 minutes away from the office. It was terrible. Weaver said it was the last thing that any of us expected.

Finding comfort

Many lives have been affected by the passing of Michelle. She said she has taken comfort in the words of her friend.

Cindy Bousky, a Kellar Primary School teacher and a neighbor, said that she was perfect in God. We are not perfect, so we may still be on earth. At that point in time, she was perfect and ready to leave.
