7 years have come and gone without You Michele and I am more Heartbroken everyday. As You fade from other people's memory, your memory will always be alive in my Heart and Soul. I miss You more and more each passing day Michele!!! Rest in Peace my Beautiful Daughter. I Love You Michele

October 14, 2023

Michele, you will always be my best friend, and the tattoo I got for you will be on me forever. You will NEVER fade from anyone’s memories - especially those who loved you most, near or far. Everyone whose lives you were a part of, big or small, will remember you forever.

While we are heartbroken and missing you, we must not question God’s plan; for if we do, we are doing exactly what the devil wants. I keep my faith strong knowing that I have to if I want to make it into heaven and see you again someday! While all of our lives must go on here on earth, that does not mean you don’t live in our hearts every moment. Whether we talk about it, or keep it inside, you know the truth of how we feel about you and that is all that matters.

I promise you, my girl, your memory has lived on, and will live on, til the end of time. Everyone who knew you would agree!

Til we see you again, you’re still my angel til then! THANK YOU LORD for your grace and helping us make it through missing our loved ones.

I LOVE YOU BABY GIRL!

At 1 am on August 12, 1992 I gave birth to a 9 pound 1 & a half ounces, 21 inches long cute baby girl, who would change our lives for the better forever. Not until you were born, Michele, did we know what unconditional love meant. You are the most beautiful person inside and out and your father and I could not be anymore proud of the woman that you became. I thank God every day for the 24 plus years we were able to spend loving you and you living us here on this earth. Your dad & I will continue to love, miss & remember you until the day we take our last breath. Your time here on earth was cut very short, but nothing can take away the love we hold very close in our hearts for you. Happy Heavenly 28th Birthday to our sweet, brave & beautiful baby girl Michele Ekaterini Ciufecu Broadley. Xoxoxo until we’re together again in heaven.

The thing I loved the most about Michele was as busy as she could be sometimes, she was very genuine and sweet and could always take the time to chat for a few minutes. I miss teasing her about her bathroom selfies and the Cowboys.

April 7, 2019

First time I saw Michele she was a week old beautiful baby.Then nine months later I Had my first son Erik it the first year they saw alot of one another. After that we would meet on birthdays and three other times a year. Then they were tens Erik very shy aroun them Michele with all her friends laughing then he start losening up she always made him part of the group.As they got older they became good friends. I remember him telling me how they wwnt out and put a few fake parking tickets on some of their friends cars,for a joke. THen they graduated High school Michele wwnt to college and meet even more people by this time they would hang out every now and then Michele reall helped brake Erik out of his shell she was so going and fun loving. She always keep up her grades as well. then she got cancer it was a blow to the gut for us I could never real know how that felt being weeks away from her 21 birthday haering that. But she was amazing she pulled up her self went on her 21st birthday trip her and the rest of the family and friends plan and had the best time in Vagas. Then being a strong young woman that she was she did her chemo and stayed in school got great grade graduated.She in my Iwas a real life wonderwoman,she was a frighter to the end and ever stop trying. I will never forget her or who she was. SHE was amazing and smart,and human.

April 7, 2019

I remember growing up with her and looking up to her as my role model. We would place tin hats on our head at Christmas time and make all the jokes and noise we could. We would play in the waves in LBI where she trusted me to tell her whether to go over or under. The beach where she made tassle neon shirts and we all took a picture. Where I would hold her before falling into the waves.

April 6, 2019

Too many memories to list them all! From giving her lice when she was little lol to partying in Vegas. Not a day goes by that I dont think about my amazing, beautiful and strong cousin. I always loved when Auntie Val and Michele would come visit Arizona and also when we got to stay at their house when visiting Connecticut. So many nights staying up late and just talking and enjoying eachothers company, that is what I miss the most and will always treasure. I love you and miss you more as each day passes.

April 6, 2019

I first met Michele in 2012 on my first trip to Connecticut with her cousin Dan. Michele and Val both welcomed me into their home with open arms. I have a lot of memories of Michele but some of my favorite are our trips to the “shiny diner” and being introduced disco fries (sooo good), staying up late talking and playing games every time we stayed at their house, bottle service at the Bellagio in Vegas, New Years Eve in Arizona, the most delicious teppenyaki dinners every time we came to Connecticut, and girl days getting my nails done/massages with Michele, Val, and Jen. I’m thankful for all of the fun memories we had and will forever miss her!

March 23, 2019

I met Michele when she was a preteen. She was a pretty young lady who grew up to be a beautiful young woman, not only on the outside, but on the inside as well. She was a very loving, forgiving and courageous person. God bless you, Michele!

March 21, 2019

Sweet, strong Michele. I've never known another who lived life to the fullest in every sense of the phrase or one who inspired so many individuals while doing so. Valeria and my mom have been friends as long as I can remember so naturally, Michele and I have too. We spent a lot of time together when we were little, I’ll never forget that curly hair, those bright eyes and her genuine smile. As we grew, we wove in and out of one another’s lives, always sharing in special events and milestones. Regardless of how often we kept in touch, she had a way of making your connection with her, in whatever capacity, feel special. With strong family bonds, she also treated her extended “chosen” family, like my mom and I, with the same same sense of value. She was SO much bigger than her cancer could ever be. With every battle, Michele was FIERCE and her fire burns on... every. single. day.

March 20, 2019

My forever memories of Michele is when our family meet up with Hara, Catrina, Val and Michele in Disneyworld by the Haunted House she was so young, very cute with long curly hair and big eyes and excited to be there.
I always remember her beauty, courage, strength, common sense, down to earth attitude, intelligence, humor, compassion for all that she was blessed to own.
You will be forever missed and never forgotten.
Prayers and love, always for you Michele.

I will never forget July of 2015 at my house. Everyone was there.. We all hung out cooking on the grill, drinking , and playing games. The favorite game we played was “Never have I Ever” it was so hysterical.. We were laughing so hard that night, you and Mike were making fun of me and your Mom because of Our answers!!!! That night sticks out in my my mind and I Will never forget the fun we all would have when we got together... Michele You will always be missed and Never Ever be Forgotten. You are a Beautiful Angel watching over us all.. Love you ❤️

I remember the first time I met you Michele and finding out that you and my son Christian were friends and hung out together! What a small world, I thought to myself. I would see you at parties and concerts, you were always happy and carefree. When I think of you, I always like to think of those times. Those were good memories. My heart ached for you and everything you went through. You were so brave. I miss you Michele and love you!❤️❤️❤️. Sandy

I don't even know where to begin when it comes to my memories with Michele. One of my most recent memories with Michele was the last New Year's Eve she spent here on earth. I am so happy we got to spend it together. Her amazing mother and aunt went all out for us! We had a table with bottle service at a bar on Mill Ave and we had the best New Year's Eve we'd ever had. We danced, we drank, we laughed, we made friends waiting in line to use the disgusting bathroom covered in vomit lol. We toasted to 2016 and had the time of our lives. The uber ride home brought upon some other memories, but I'll keep those to myself. We ended the night back at Dan's talking outside around the fire pit. Well, some of us did, others were already passed out in bed from the awesomeness of the night lol. I doubt that NYE will ever be topped. I'm so thankful for those memories and so many others. I love and miss her everyday and always will.

March 14, 2019

There is so many stories I can tell here but I’m gonna tell one that at the time didn’t seem like a big deal but now I hold it near and dear to my heart.
Me and Michele (and Kelsey lol) had an inside joke about the word “Moist.” . Summer time is when we’d see each other the most and we’d laugh every time we heard someone say it was moist outside and everytime people would ask us what the hell was so funny lol. It was a ridiculous/ childish thing we shared but it’s the little things like that that make me miss Michele every day.
I can go on and on and on about the times, laughter, and conversations we shared but I’ll save them for future stories!
I love and miss you Michele
Forever in my heart. Love Mike

Yo, Peaches!
             I just wanted you to know how sorely missed and extremely loved you are by everyone whose lives that you touched including my own.
              You will never be forgotten.
              My love always, Peaches...XOXO ❤

March 12, 2019

I will always remember what a great and amazing friend you were to my Brandon. The fun times at college together, crazy nights in the city, vacation in Grand Cayman, or talking for hours.
I will always remember our great lunches with you , Brandon, and your mom. Great food, cocktails, and fun conversation. And there was always some waiter/waitress that we ended up with that we had a laugh after. "This was already discussed" LOL
Gone too soon but forever remembered.

March 11, 2019

MERRY CHRISTMAS MICHELE I cannot explain in words the emptiness and loneliness that I feel, especially on this Christmas Day, without You. All I have are Memories to look back on and no more to make! When You died- I died. I live day to day aimlessly Michele. Not knowing sometime how to feel, where to go or what to do.I mark every day off the calendar and think- 1 more day closer to You!!! I don't know why I am left here. The only reason that I can come up with is that I must share YOUR story, not mine, and try to help others who travel this same path. Your name is all over my Church Michele and You are prayed for everyday I can only do good now and follow God's path which will lead me back to You ❤ I miss You my Sweet, Brave and Beautiful Daughter with all my Heart and Soul!!! Merry Christmas from Daddy Michele ❤ My gift to You this year and every year is half of my broken heart. I have the other half and when we meet again it will be whole again with endless love to You!!! I Love and Miss You So So much Michele ❤ Love, DADDY

Our Daughter Michele was born on August 12th, 1992 at 1:00 am . Michele lived a very short but very fulfilling Life. When she was just a baby we had Michele in the pool. She took swimming lessons and soon became like a fish in the water. Michele then went into Gymnastics for 14 Years at Polly's in Stratford,CT. She was well liked there and performed at many recitals doing floor, bars and balance beam routines and another of her favorites - the Trampoline , which she did routines that I wouldn't have attempted ! She also played Softball, Tennis, Basketball, and loved to Bowl ! We joined a Father - Daughter bowling league and we came in 2nd place but her happiest time was when she beat me lol Michele attended St. Gabriel School in Milford and also St. Mary's in Milford where she sang in the Choir and also played Clarinet in the school band and actually played a solo in one of the concerts ! Michele graduated 8th grade with very high grades and moved on to Laurelton Hall High School where she excelled academically receiving many awards! Michele was very smart in school and always studied very hard. Everything was going great in her life when all of a sudden right before her 21st birthday she discovered a lump on her forearm which would soon be diagnosed as a very rare and aaggressive form of Childhood cancer called Alveolar Rhabdomyosarcoma ! Her world and our world Stopped. On Sunday August 25, 2013 Michele started a Rigorous journey to fight for her LIFE !!! Michele went through operations, chemos and radiation treatments for 3 years. Through those treatments she graduated from UConn with Magna Cum Laude High Honors on May 10th 2015 !!! Our precious ,brave and courageous little girl lost her battle to this ugly disease on September 28,2016 , only 24 Years old. Our amazing child is still winning awards as she won the Gold Ribbon Hero Award from ACCO , AMERICAN CHILDHOOD CANCER ORGANIZATION, ON January 30th 2018 !!! Michele had numerous friends and made numerous more on her journey whom I am hoping will share a memory or two on this, her Memorial Page. Michele Mommy and Daddy Love you with our whole beings and You will never be forgotten as long as we live !!!

My Beautiful Daughter Michele

HAPPY THANKSGIVING in HEAVEN MICHELE Holidays are so,so hard without You ‍ As I make Memeres stuffing I think of how much You Loved it. Nothing is the same anymore here Michele and I want to come where You are so we could be together again. I guess I am left here to suffer for my sins which I will do if it gets me back to you ❤️ I think about you everyday. Especially when I am at the ocean. I feel you with me there. I still can't accept that You are gone It's still like a bad dream. All I have are memories in my head of You growing up and I become very sad when I think of them Michele My heart is beyond broke and I wish everyday to join You because it's awful here now for me!!! I Love You and Miss You with all my being!!!

YOUR DADDY

5 Years

September 28, 2021

Hi Michele, it's Daddy ❤ This conversation is between me and You and not Facebook and the world to see. Today is 5 years that You have been gone and I am so,so sad Michele Today I walked the beach and promised that I would only think of the good times we had but then that damn cancer that attacked you keeps coming back into my head and all the pain and suffering that you went through won't leave my head! I can't get the last morning at 4 am out of my mind when You actually died ! I am still in shock Michele and still can't believe it. I am a mindless wanderer now. Nothing to look forward to, no more happiness. It's very lonely Michele and I miss our text messages almost every night. I have joined a Church, The Church of Jesus Christ, as You know already and Your name is spoken every time I am there and next year I get to go to the Temple in Columbia SC and give you a blessing that I hope You accept. I'm sure You will. I am trying to stay on the right path Michele and I think that I'm doing pretty good because then I am promised an Eternal Life with You and everyone else there with You!!! I talk to You everyday Michele and thx for listening to me complain lol I am sure You have more important things to do lol It's a sad day but I think of it as You Graduated again Michele !!! This time to a Beautiful Holy Angel Hey, I asked You for a penny today and I am still looking lol I am so glad Michele that I have the good memories of JUST You and me. It's the only thing that keeps me going day by lonely day!!! So, I don't celebrate this day Honey because for us down here its not a celebration when someone You Love with all your heart and soul passes on as You know. I Love You my precious Daughter and I am so Totally Proud of the things You accomplished while You were here!!! Your memory shines on here and I am sure that You shine brightly there!! I will see You soon enough Michele. Save a seat for me!!! I Love You Michele ❤❤ Forever Loved, Daddy

MERRY CHRISTMAS MICHELE

December 22, 2020

Merry Christmas to my Daughter Michele ❤ I remember days when you were little and to see your face so bright all day on Christmas I remember when one Christmas all you wanted was your candy from your stocking lol I remember the cutting down of the trees and decorating them together through the years. I remember the snowman we made together and going sled riding and ice skating!!! I remember it all Michele, and I will always remember you. Death ends a life not a relationship! And I wouldn't trade anything for the Father-Daughter relationship we had ❤ Alot of people think Dads are strong and don't hurt when losing a child well I am sure not one of them! A big,big part of me went with you Michele. I don't even know who I am anymore. I miss you so much Michele ❤ I hope that you radiate in Heaven on Christmas Day like you used to here my Sweet, Beautiful and Courageous Daughter. Merry Christmas Michele Love Your Daddy
