Dear Vozzella and Rebidue familes,

As an extended member of the "Baldwin Street Gang", I feel I have lost a sister. Mr & Mrs V., you were and remain like family to me, feeding me and keeping a distant watchful eye on all of us.

I have fond memories of Michelle as the calming presence at the dining room table during many a loud and boisterous meal in the Vozzella household. As I read through the other postings, it is clear this calming demeanor was one of Michelle's greatest qualities. She will be missed.

Dave and Russell, our thoughts and prayers are with you. You have lost a loving and caring wife and mother. May she find peace in Heaven.

With sympathy,

John, Nina & Paul McGeehan

Dear Angela, Chili, Auntie May, David, Russell, all our Vozzella cousins, and the Rebidue family,

This has been a very difficult year for our familes and now, with the sudden passing of such a young and wonderful woman, it seems particularly unbearable. Michelle was so sweet, always had a smile or laugh and a kind, supportive word, so full of life. This just seems so unfair.

David, we cannot imagine how devastated you must be. There are just no words to take away any of the sadness.

But to all of you, we pray your faith will give you strength, your friends and family will give you kindness and support, and your memories of Michelle will stay with you and comfort you for the rest of your lives.

If there is anything we can do to help during this difficult time -- food, babysitting, anything -- please do not hesitate to call.

We love you all and our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Mike McGuire

Dear Chilli, Angela and David,

Well once again I have no words for the loss of a true Angel. To be brief, Michelle would light up a room as soon as she entered it with her smile, her charm and her inner beauty. What I admired most was her respect for people, and how she cared. She is a special person that will live on in the hearts of people that knew and loved her. Whenever I was around the Vozzella Family, I would always lean over and tell Angela what 4 remarkable children they have. I am deeply saddened of her passing, but at the same time, so happy that I had the pleasure of being around her whenever possible. I will be talking to you soon,

Love,
Paul and Marie Pizzo

Reggie and Brian called to tell me of Michell's passing a few hours ago and I am in a bit of shock. It seems Angels are taken away too soon sometimes and Michelle was just that. Without her love and support as my friend through high school I really would not be the same person I am today. She pushed me to go beyond myself all the time. We shared our first apartment togehter and those memories will never fade. I am sorry I can not be there tomorrow. Please know I am thinking about you all.

Dear Vozzella and Rebidue family,
My family and I were saddened by the unexpected news of Michelle's passing. We are thinking you and all of her closest friends during this time of loss. Michelle was a special friend to me and so many. One of her great qualities was that she always found a way to turn a bad situation into a good one. If you were having a hard time with something, anything, she would somehow put it into a simple perspective, and in the end she'd just say "forget about it!" with her wonderful smile. She knew how to make you feel better.

I will always treasure the time spent on Baldwin street as one of the "adopted teenagers" not just worrying about what our mothers will think, but more importantly, what Michelle will think. She was a wonderful friend that will remain in our thoughts, and forever live in our hearts.
