my wishes and prayers to the family. One really amazing memory i have with Michelle is when she stud up for me in the 8th grade. That day has really helped me get threw being bullied. She was just a sweet heart. I will never forget all the funny things she would say on our bus ride home from school. I live on David Road not to far from where she lived with her dad on Pent road. I always enjoyed the bus ride home because i knew Michelle was going to say something funny. I kept me so alive and happy. I will miss you Michelle and i will never forget what you did for me in the 8th grade, i never got to tell you years later that you really helped me but you did and thank you for that. I am going to miss you and i wish all closer friends and family all my wishes with a loss.

Dearest (((((Michael and Carol)))),
I am so very sorry to read of the terrible accident and the death of your beautiful, beloved daughter, Michelle Ericka…please accept my deepest condolences.
There are no words that can help ease your pain related to this tragic event in your lives, just know that as another bereaved parent, I care and understand the traumatic impact of having a beautiful daughter die suddenly. I pray that you find the peace and comfort in the happy memories of your beloved daughter, Michelle Ericka’s life.
For me to tell you that you will feel like you did before this tragedy would be a lie. Each of us handles our grief differently. The tragic death of your daughter will forever change your life. My only advice is to take one moment at a time, ride the waves of grief and devastation as they approach and don’t be afraid to express your feelings. No matter what they may be.
I truly understand how having a child die can change your life. My 11 year old daughter, Danielle Marie was killed in a terrible auto accident in Massachusetts in February of 2006. She died of a massive head injury at the scene of the accident. My wife, son and I live in Southington.
Michael and Carol, you, your beloved daughter, Michelle Ericka and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers for continuous strength and comfort each day.

With deepest sorrow,

Philip & Michele Mader

I write this with a heavy heart and much sadness at the news of the sudden and tragic passing of Michelle. It has been some years since our paths crossed - so I will always have the fond memories of her smiling happy self - she and my son were kindergarten classmates and we shared trips for ice cream and b-day parties to name a few.
Please accept my sincerest sympathy to Mom-Carole, and all family and friends that are mourning the loss of a beautiful young lady.
God Bless!
