"Gone - flitted away,
Taken the stars from the night
and the sun from the day!
Gone, and a cloud in my heart."
Thank you, Michelle, for all the hours and hours we chatted, over several years. A Continent apart, yet you were one of my closest friends. You were funny, bright, kind and loving and in the course of a lifetime, we meet so few people with those qualities, that when we lose one, a light truly goes out in the world.
To your family, I extent my belated condolences; having only learned of your sad loss today.
Goodbye, Girl xxx

My Dearest Michele - What a beautiful inspiration to many you were - what an old soul, even at a very young age -- I so regret not making a stronger effort to stay closer in touch with you -- If the world were filled with many of you, it would be such a more beautiful place. I am only happy that now, you can be with those that you love so much and the peace that you will now have, being with them (Mom, Dad and brother). You will be sorely missed forever and remembered as one of the most beautiful souls I have ever known.

To All of Michelle's Family: Although we hadn't know Michelle for a lot of years, we grew to love her and consider both her and Kevin as "family". We will miss her terribly and think of her often. I most loved her sense of humor and loving spirit. Our hearts and prayers are with you all.

Michelle,
We laughed, cried, and played together. We are kindred spirits. You were always there to bail me out when I needed it most. You taught me lots about being the kind of person I've always wanted to be. I will always love you for that.

My deepest sympathies to Kevin and family for your loss. She has touched the heart of many.

In our online game you were a wonderful daughter, and only hit me up for goodies once in a while!:) Gosh the jokes we shot back and forth. You were a clever little minx.And that's something for an otter to say.You always loved the flowers. I'll never forget you

I met Michelle in a couple of the games she played online. She was well known and well liked in both of them, and was exceptionally welcoming and kind. It was always fun to talk to her :)
She'll be very much missed by her many friends out on the Internet - our best wishes to her real life friends and family.

I knew Michelle from playing a couple of games online. I will miss her so much in A Tale in the Desert and Puzzle Pirates games (online). She amazed me always doing some sweet and generous thing and had a quick smile and kind heart. She touched lots of lives and was loved by many. I never got to meet her in real life but am going to miss her more than I can say. It is amazing how close two ladies can get playing a game side by side online. And she was a very special lady! We laughed and played together and just had the best time! I just wish I could somehow tell her thank you for so many things! We talked, laughed, played, girltalked in the middle of the night sometimes. I am so glad I had what little time I had with her. I miss you Jez! (Michelle)
