Michelle, I knew you as Angela but always wanted to call you by your first name so I did, and I still do, you were more then just a co worker with me, you were my friend, a loved one in my close circle, you always knew how to have a good time, on and off the screen, you made everyone's world go around, again, on and off the screen, you made a great impact on my life and I miss you terribly, I wish I could of had one more night holding you close, having you in my arms again, whether it was at the studio or at my place, either way, it'd be nice to spend just even 30 more minutes with you.

It´s been years since I´ve spoken to Michelle so we weren´t close or anything but I did hang out with her for a short time in 2004 and she was such a sweet, nice person. Sadly, I just found out about her passing and it makes me sad knowing she is no longer with us. Condolences to her family and friends.

Michelle. Not a single day goes by where I don't think about you. I'm crying again even as I type this. You meant so much to me. I wish every day that I could see you again. Even if just one more time to tell you how amazing you are. I truly hope I get to see you again one day. I love you.

Dear family and close friends, my heart is crying. Michelle was a fighter, her smile and laughter always cheered me up.

Lisa and Joe:
Saying you have my sympathy just doesn't seem like enough--I can't even imagine the loss you must feel. Michelle was a sweet kid and grew up into a beautiful young woman--one in which would make any parent proud. I am so sorry to hear of her passing. Hugs to all of you.
