I found another picture of my BEAUTIFUL angel Michelle Moesta!! <3 She sent me an album with pictures of me and Mikey's wedding in it. Since she passed, I made the album she gave me into my "Michelle Picture/Memory Album"! <3 It is so SPECIAL to me and I have close to 60 pics of her in it (ranging from the 1990's to 2012)! I am SO LUCKY/BLESSED to have all these pictures and memories of such a beautiful person inside and outside!! Till we meet again my friend!! <3 <3

Michelle was a sweet person and an animal lover like myself. I was happy to reunite with her at Michele's wedding and get to sit by her and talk. She was a very kind lady with a big heart and is missed. I know she's in Heaven with her family members that left earth before her not to mention her dog that she lost and missed so very much.
My Michelle area..she gave me that figurine and we all know about the ladybugs! :o)

Dear Mrs. Moesta and Family,
We have always found Michelle to be a lovely, sweet and caring person. We did really enjoy her visits with us in Michigan. Because our daughter, Michele, formed such a close relationship with her, I know that she was a great friend also.
Michelle with her Dad, who she is with in Heaven now!

Dear Dottie & Family,
I am still in shock, I am deeply sorry for your loss. I am completely devastated, I lost a part of who I am. Michelle and I rode out some very rough times together and made it out together. She was such a beautiful person inside and out. I loved her dearly her personality, her strength, her compassion, her friendship, just her. Noone will ever know me the way she did, she could understand things noone else could. After a time of not hearing from her and her number being changed she called me about a month and a half ago. We talked for a long time like we never missed talking a day. Then she was just gone. And now I have received the tragic and devastating news. I Love You Shell, You will FOREVER be in my heart honey. I'm sure you are a beautiful Angel. Have peace and happiness my friend. Can't stop crying though... Love you Shell. To Dottie and the family you are in my heart and prayers. Deepest Sympathy.
Always cracking up :) 8-16-09

Michelle Moesta-Cost was one of my Bff's and one of the most beautiful people (inside and outside)I have and WILL EVER meet.. She had a heart of gold and would give you the shirt off her back. She had some tough times years ago and came out a shining example/STAR and MENTOR to many women!! I was so happy that she was able to attend me and Mike's wedding!
She has ALREADY been playing tricks and showing her loved ones that she is STILL will us..SERIOUSLY..it is crazy what me, Cristina, her friend Mary have experienced in the last few days..CLASSIC Shel!! It is JUST like her to make SURE that WE are fine and make sure we know she is OK and will NEVER leave us!
She must be the most GORGEOUS angel in Heaven!! She is with her dad, brother, nephew, beloved dog and cat!! Love you Shel- till we meet again!! xxxxxxxxxoooooooo

We were always genuinely happy to see each other. I was also the DJ for her wedding, and I still talk about how awesome it was and that she had Santa come for her guests. Although it has been many years since I last saw her, I can vividly hear her voice and see her smile. Friends since Dible, she will be missed. Rest in peace until we meet again, my friend.
