I am saddened to learn of Michelle's passing through Santa Clara University Magazine. Though I only knew her during college, I always found her to be a very intelligent, compassionate and fun-loving person. RIP, Michelle.

Michelle I met you in Florida through your friend Cheryl and the moment I met you I knew you were a bright beautiful soul And I was a magnet to you. I know you're happy with your dad now. You missed him so much I could tell from your dvd you shared of memories of your childhood. Thank you for being in my life for a short moment but a great positive impact.

Dear Michelle, You left this world too soon. Your absence will be felt by all who knew you and especially by your family. We didn't have many opportunities to see one another over the years, but I had always hoped you would make good and bring your Mom to La Paz to spend time with us in the Sea of Cortez. I hope time will heal the loss felt by your Mother, Sister, Denise, your brother-in-law, Tom and their children. While the friends you've made during your life will miss you, I'm sure they will also celebrate your life and share their fond memories.

Michelle, I'm so thankful for the blessing that you were in my life. You will truly be missed, though your memory will live on fondly in my heart. I will think of you and see your smile every time I am at the beach and see others playing beach volleyball, and your spirit will be with me whenever I am on the Santa Clara campus. Much Love, Elissa
