Michelle was extraordinarily beautiful and she was at least that beautiful on the inside. I remember thinking I was so proud that she wasn't too cool to sit by me or talk to me. She was calm, down to earth and funny. She was coordinated and good in gym. She didn't take to whistles or stares from boys who thought they were macho men. I was very happy to be her friend and to know her a bit. I was sorry to see that she passed so young.
I did not know Michelle very well, however we did have a class together, I forget which one, but I do remember of her was that she was very smart and always participated in call. I remember that because for months I wanted to ask her out but lacked the courage. finally towards the end of class where we were going to change schedules I worked up the courage to ask her out. Unforturnaly for me, she was busy. The think I remember is how kind she was when she told me that she could not go out with me. I alway admired her for that. I was trully shocked to she that she had passed so early in life.
Michelle and I were best friends from elementary school on. She was such a great friend! She had a younger sister named Cindy, who was mentally challenged. Michelle was so kind and good to her and would stand up to anyone if ever she was being bullied or teased. I have so many memories of sleeping out in her backyard, taking midnight bike rides up into the cove and even taking her dad's old beat-up pickup truck for a drive outside of the church parking lot where we had been given permission to drive it. Luckily we returned it in the same beat up condition. I don't remember if we got caught. Fun times! She was a classy woman and fought to the bitter end. Stupid cancer! She died way too young.
I have so many memories of Michelle growing up. She was so so funny and gorgeous! Her sister Cindy looked up to her and Michelle never shunned her, she was. always there to help her. Michelle had the best sense of humor. Later after high school I would see her and her husband, he was fun too. unfortunately he too has passed. Her children adored her as well. I miss you Michelle, and love you XOXO
Michelle was such a beautiful person. She and I were partnered for a dance in our dance class. I remember her being so easy to work with. She was quiet and always so kind to me.
