I am deeply saddened by the news of Michelle’s passing.
Growing up across the road from her, Michelle was a central part of my childhood. So many of my early memories were made together — endless sleepovers in her back room, camping out in our yards, watching Stand By Me countless times, playing with the Ouija board, laughing until our stomachs ached, and simply embracing the joy of being kids/teenagers.
I will carry those memories with me always and remain forever grateful for the friendship we shared.
To Rita, Georgette, Ashleigh, and all of Michelle’s family and friends, please know that I am truly sorry for your loss.
Michelle, thank you for the years of laughter and memories. Fly high my friend — you will be deeply missed.
