Michelle Ross Obituary
the late Joseph and Norma Ross on November 24th, 1964 in Trinidad W.I She was the second of three
children, Kenneth the sole surviving member and Ronald also deceased. Michelle had the tenacity to always do things her way.
Having grown up in a very spiritual environment, she kept herself in a manner befitting that upbringing. Never really openly
showing her commitment to a religious lifestyle, she continually mentioned that God had been good to her. She attended
Mt. Lambert R.C.school in Trinidad and San Juan Gov't Secondary School where she obtained her GCE O'levels
with distinction. At the age of nineteen Michelle and Kenneth migrated to the United States, where she again proved herself academically
by earning her Masters Degree in International Accounting and Finance at the Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton, FL.
Once here in her new environment her aunt Norma with much love and care brought out another side to Michelle that was her love for
clothes which continued until her dying day.Her god mother Ingrid also become a very stabling influence in her life. In her ensuing years years she
worked at HEICO, TRESCOM, SUN-SENTINEL and COMCAST where worked for the pass fourteen years. She had recently resigned and was enjoying
A well deserved rest when God chose to call her home. Michelle is survived by her dearly beloved brother Kenneth, aunt Tilla, her uncle Ron Scott, her aunt Norma,
cousins Jason, Michael, Norman, Dawn-Marie, Carolyn, Maureen, Elizabeth ,Wendy,Kimberly, Alexandria, Jillian and Travis. Also her many cruising buddies.
Thanks to you all for caring and sharing in her life .

Words cannot express the hurt we feel as we continue to think of our dear Michelle's sudden passing. What helps me through this time is fondly remembering the times spent with her, especially in Trinidad and chatting and laughing on the phone here in the US. Michelle was always laughing and giving jokes. RIP Michelle, I am so glad you LIVED life. You shall surely be missed.

Michelle would always be remembered as a true, loyal, loving and caring friend. The fun, laughter and clicks (photo sessions) we had, would always remain as fond memories of the times we spent together. "Life is short"!!! those were always your words, the tagline you used when we tried to justify our shopping sprees buying things we already had and planning trips and cruises one after the other. Yet, in the midst of this all, you stood out as being focused and dedicated to your job, working hard and determined to achieve what you wanted in life. You would be surely missed my dear friend!

Michelle was a great person and a great friend. I feel privileged to have known her. She was a cruising buddy who always said that life is short, so we must travel and enjoy it while we can. I will never forget her positive attitude. Bon voyage, Michelle.

Michelle and I met in 2001 while working for AT&T Broadband and through the transition to Comcast. Over the years she had been my manager, mentor and friend. I learned so much from her. I will miss her.

So brilliant, so attractive, so successful and yet so humble, Michelle cared with all her heart. I'm glad to have known her from a baby and believe me,Michelle had not changed. Her little facial expression was like - what next should I do now? Bright little eyes showed determination, a go- geter, and Michelle did not dis-appoint. Michelle, the woman, was unique. There was laughter in her voice, laughter in her eyes and of course, her little chuckle. We will miss you Michelle but memories will always linger. Your life had touched many and your 'home-call' has done the same. God took you at the right time and at the right place and with the right people around. Other-wise, things could have become complicated. May God take care of your soul.

What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch, we may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget. Now you are with the angels, RIP Michelle.

It was a great pleasure to have worked with Michelle in Comcast for 11 years. I admired her for her strong personality and always giving 100% of everything she did. I will never forget her words “Don't do things like if you were a robot, think and ask questions if you don't know”.
May her soul rest in peace. My deepest sympathy to the Ross family.

I have so many memories of Michelle from the "good old days" bright eyed, full of life, kind and charismatic . I know that she had a zest for life and a love for adventure.
I know for certain that we never lose the people we love, even to death. They continue to participate in every act, thought and decision we make. Their love leaves an indelible imprint in our memories and we find comfort in knowing that our lives have been enriched because we shared their love.
Though some day we all have to part with those we love, we are better for having loved them.
In this way, love transcends her passing.
Hold tight to memories for comfort, lean on your friends for strength, and always remember how much you are cared about, as we keep you in our thoughts and prayers and honor Michelle's memory.

Michelle, you were a great sister who is surely being missed. When you did not agree with me, you made it known. I've had some great opportunities and experiences because of you. Thank you for those good times. I'll miss the sound of your voice on the phone and in person. It was nice that we were very close to each other. I am missing you and you will never be forgotten.
I will never forget the last time we were together, just a few hours before you departed this life. I will always cherish the memories of the time we had together, traveling, cruising, shopping and going for Saturday and/or Sunday evening drives and how good you treated me on my birthday each year.
Love you sister.

Cuz, you were my sister and my best friend. I am going to miss your passion for life, your compassionate side, your smile, your beauty. My favorite words to you were.."you get your beauty from hanging out with me" As crazy as we were together, you were my strength. We would go to the store and visit your favorite spot.." saying woo girl, look on this outfit, sexy don't you think". Although you say you were not buying it, we always left the store with something. We have shared much together as cousins and you have always been there for me. R.I.P my beautiful . God has call you home to be by his side and to brighten his garden with your smile.
If roses grow in heaven, Lord please pick a bunch for me. Place them in Michelle's arms and tell her they're from me. Tell her I love and miss her, and when she turns to smile, place a kiss upon her cheeks and hold her for awhile. Because remembering her is easy, I do it every day, but there's a ache within my heart that will never go away. From Dawn and Carolyn

Michelle, bright eyed and full of laughter was like a big sister to my siblings and I. Always positive and outspoken yet quiet when she felt she needed to be. Her kind and giving spirit was one that outdid most expectations.....Gone in person but her legend will always live on...

Michelle and I attended San Juan Gov't Secondary school class 81.We would walk home together after school on many days laughing and talking endlessly. After she migrated we kept in touch but like most people lost contact with each other.
It was with great joy and surprise that we were able to re connect a few years ago and had been in touch since. I would visit Miami in January every year where we would hook up and catch up on all the goings on. Her many cruises etc. Michelle and I always had a good time when we got together. She will be missed. May God bless her and may she rest in peace.
My condolences to her brother Kenneth and family members.

Michelle became one of my first friends at Comcast, in North Dade, when I transferred from the Keys 10 years ago. We shared many memories together over the years. These are memories I will always cherish. She inspired me to enjoy life; an example is her love of travel. She constantly made me realize what an amazing world is out there. She was a very respected woman. God bless you, and your family Michelle. Sending my deepest sympathy and prayers. I'll truly miss you.
