Michelle Hoca-Burmeister

I met Michelle on a cruise in the mid 90's with her friend Liz! It was a brief moment in time I have never forgotten. we danced a few songs, one of which was red red wine! The cruise ended, I figured I'd never see this beautiful woman again. I moved back to Ohio a few years later. While in the Flats with a friend in some nightclub, I turned around to a familiar face right behind me as a new song came over the speakers - red red wine! We danced that song and that was it! That was the last time I seen Michelle until this moment! It's very pleasing to see that she had a wonderful life full of family and friends! My deepest condolences!

Driving in to work this morning and singing along to "Imagine" by John Lennon, I was reminded of a time in our teens, when Michelle played piano in the basement of her parent's Olmsted Falls home, and I sang along to this song.

I was at once, both saddened by Michelle's loss and happy that she's in a far better place!

While we may have lost touch when I moved away, Michelle will forever remain in my heart!

So sorry for your loss!!! She will be deeply missed! I was lucky enough to be one of her karate friends and she would always be available to give me a ride! I have kept her ERA Realtor magnet on my fridge for many years and would think of her quite often! Occasionally I would check to see if she had joined Facebook to try and reconnect with her but not knowing her married name always came up empty handed! Today I saw the magnet on my fridge and was saddened to find she had passed a few weeks ago!:( Will see you again!

Michelle was an inspiration who fought breast cancer for so many years. She was lucky to have such a strong advocate , her husband, Chuck, who was with her until the end. My thoughts and prayers are with you and the family during this very difficult time.

I have great memories of Michelle,She was a kind beautiful woman.
May God Bless Family &Friends during this time and the weeks and months ahead.

I have known Michelle since I began at the Gas company. She has a spirit of energy, honest and such beauty. I always loved her and admired her. Very few people live by their words in such an honest. caring way. I was so sad to hear that she is not with us. My love and blessings go out to her as she makes her next travel home and to her family who was so lucky to have known and loved her.
blessings and love,

I was very sad to hear about the passing of Michelle. She was a very sweet person and had a lovely voice. May god help and comfort you through this difficult time. She will be singing with the angels.

Billy & Family,
Wishing you peace to bring comfort, courage to face the days, and loving memories to lift you up.

Misharoo-my Sweet lil Soldier with a Smile-you fought beautifully here on earth & now you are free from that struggle & brand new. My heart is so heavy with sadness & you will be so terribly missed...but it was time for you to get your wings. Chuck, Chaz, Kathy, Bill, Steve and Dan...my prayers for peace are with you. Love and Light to All

My condolences for your loss of Michelle. May the God of all comfort sustain you now and in the days ahead. May God also grant you a measure of peace.

Michelle was always an inspiration to me. She was one of the brightest & most courageous people I've ever known, & had a wonderful family. She will be missed, the world is less without her in it. I have to give credit to a show called Babylon 5 for my next statement, but it fits Michelle so well that I feel I should...We were all enhanced by her presence & are diminished by her loss.
My love & thoughts & prayers are with you.

I am sorry for your loss and my God Bless you Bill. John J. Caruso Pittsfield,MA
