When we were little girls, we were best friends. Michelle and I grew up in rochester Mi, Her parents were in a band, we did alot of singing in there living room! I am so happy that she continued with her music! She was alot of fun! She moved away when we were in jr. high school. WOW, i cant beleave she is no longer with us!

I will remember being in your home in HB when we both first started playing guitar and how we were so excited when we could finally play the Iron Maiden leads and how we had to show your Mom, Bob and your Aunt! How you loved to play...... the harder and faster the better! I will remember the "underground" Metallica demo tape you used to play along with (in the loft/studio), instead of the Seek & Destroy album cause the demo was faster! You blew me away 'cause you could play along with it! I will remember hangin' with you and Rocky (Suicidal Tendencies) and jamin' on Jazz melodies and riffs. You encouraged and inspired me with your determination and focus. You lived your passion and lived your life to the fullest! My heart is sad at your passing. I never have and never will forget you Michelle. Your childhood friend ... KayDee Laurie Mengel
