Michelle was an amazing friend in Chicago. We often told people we were sisters. We would follow Troy around and jam to Journey and Def Lepard. I will miss her sweet smiling face. When we were teenagers we got our long hair cut short so that we could sport a long tail in the back. When Olga saw our stylish tails she grabbed her scissors and cut them off. We were mad but we knew better than to argue with Olga. Rest in Peace Michelle! I love you and will cherish all of the great memories we shared! To the family - I am so sorry!
