Part one, Michelle, what can I say, she was like a sister to me all the things she has done for me, Michelle was the only one who let me drive her car secretly when I wasn't suppose to, she took me so many places I never thought I would go, like she took me to a puppy shop and we stayed there for what seemed like hours, our favorite place to go was Bills place and we would get...

I will forever be filled with regret that I was only able to share just a few precious days of Michelle’s life, but never have I been more struck by such a wonderfully strong willed & delightful young lady. She overcame more than someone so young should ever endure & it breaks my heart that we have now lost her beautiful spirit. Michelle, fly high & reach those stars. God bless you. xxx

Since you've been gone, life has been a blur. You served as my rock and my friend for so long, I don't even know what to do now that you are no longer here. I love you so much and you will be immensely missed. I can only hope to be as strong as you were. Say "hi" to your dad and brother for me, love.

Michelle and I went to RB and Loyola together. I was always glad to see her on campus because it brought a piece of home to school. She always put a smile on my face. Michelle and I both had switched majors in the beginning of our college career, but she gave me encouragement because she had such a great attitude about school. You will be in my heart forever and especially this Friday. xo

Michelle was a very special part of my family. She was so giving & full of love. Her smile could light up a whole room & her laughter was contagious. She had so many dreams for the future & had enough determination to fulfill them. To me she will always be the mother of my unborn grandchildren & Mike's true love & I will forever hold a special place for her in my heart. RIP baby girl.

Michelle was a good soul trying to find her way in life. She always had questions about life as all young and ambitious people do. Words cannot describe how I feel, knowing that she was barely starting her life. I will pray for her and her strong Mother, Mari. God rest your soul Michelle....

I only met Michelle once at a function that Live4Lali and Take A Stand hosted in Lake Zurich for substance use disorder awareness advocacy. I was floored and heartbroken when Michelle told us her story and about her dad and brother. Although I did not know Michelle I could easily see the kind person she was. I am so very sorry for your loss and will pray for you and Michelle.

Michelle enrolled in my LITR 264 Italian Film Genre course at Loyola in the spring of 2013. During lectures and film screening, she sat in the front row of the Cuneo Hall classroom with her smiling, inquisitive eyes. She never missed class, never missed a film. So strong and determined. Michelle, I will always remember you. Cristina Lombardi-Diop, Loyola

Michelle was one of my best friends since freshman year of high school. We did everything together. We talked about everything, we worked together, we did homework together, we wrote each other notes during every period in high school..I can't even explain the heartbreak and the devastation that this tragedy is. I love Michelle she was my family when I had no one she was there! I miss you!

I did not know Michelle, but the last time I sat down with her mother Mari, she spoke of her daughter with such a big smile when discussing Michelle’s recovery and how proud she was of this young woman coming into her own while attending college. It saddens me deeply to hear of your loss Mari, my heart and prayers are with you in such a time of need.

Michelle was in my class 2 different times in high school as well as recruited on the speech team. We spent countless hours together practicing and early Saturday mornings. She was a very bright, courageous and spiritual person. I loved the conversations I shared with her as she would always stop by to lend a smile. Her loss is tragic, and she will be greatly missed.

I live in the same building as Michelle did, and met her last year. She talked of her family and boyfriend, and played me a tune or two on her electric keyboard. I only learned yesterday of her death. My thoughts go out to her mother, who has sadly lost her entire family in such a short and difficult period of time. At least Michelle is finally at peace now after all she had been through.

As Michelle's high school calculus teacher, I still remember Michelle's resiliency and upbeat attitude after losing her brother and dad. Her attitude in school and the never ending smile was always contagious. She was such a strong girl and will always be remembered.

Michelle and I were suitemates during our first years at Loyola. She cared a lot about people, always taking the time to ask how my day was or what was wrong if I was ever upset. She even brought all of her suitemates back a souvenir when she went on a trip! Not everybody does that. Michelle was truly a genuine person, and my heart goes out to her family. Sending love and prayers.

I met Michelle during practice for swimming and we became friends instantly. She was one of the nicest people i knew. We had a lot of fun in high school and then even after high school we grew closer and we could always talk about anything to each other. As everyone else, I will miss her alot but i know she always in our hearts, and always looking down on us. May she R.I.P.

I did not know Michelle, but I had read of her extraordinary recovery. We of the Loyola community mourn her loss. I am saying a special prayer for her mother, Mari, who raised this beautiful girl. As one mother to another, I am in awe of your courage and wish you comfort on these extremely difficult times. Julia Lieblich, journalism professor

As piano teacher, I’ll never forget Michelle's strength and courage, and will always remember her beautiful smile, sweet spirit, and love of music. One song which she liked very much was called ‘Song Without Words’. Although it’s hard to find the right words to say today, may these tributes convey the love & appreciation we will forever hold for Michelle. She will be greatly missed.

I never met Michelle. I first heard of her through my daughter, Hannah Bohon. Michelle touched my life from 2500 miles away, because she was a part of my child's life. Hannah always spoke of her strength and resiliency after her stroke. I am thankful for the impact she has had on Hannah, My daughter's life and character have been forever changed and blessed because she knew Michelle.

Michelle was one of my best friends, and a true beauty inside and out. She is the strongest person I have ever met. She was the kind of good person that makes you better by being around her. I always loved goofing off with her and our routine runs to Downtown Evanston. She had a lot to face in her life, and will be very missed by all who knew her. Rest in peace.

Michelle was an incredibly strong and courageous girl. She worked hard to overcome family loss and rehabilitate from a devastating stroke. And always demonstrate this precious spirit and smile that radiated sunshine. Her family loved her deeply and are so very sad at at losing such a great soul. She is now with her brother and Dad, R.I.P.

Milestone

April 11, 2021
by Mari Thomas
Today is a milestone birthday and I cannot believe it has been so long since we met.  I remember the ride to the hospital where I didn't know if it was going to be a girl or a boy and trying to sort through names frantically.  I then landed on the name Michelle and it felt so right and I knew it would be a girl, I never had a boy name!  I miss you so incredibly much as life marches on I think of where we may have been at this moment together and my heart is heavy.  I pray that you are safe and that I may be with you again some day.    Love Mom
