say what they will

"Michelle has a beautiful mind -- spontaneous and bright. She brings the sun with her everywhere she goes. Her words written down or spoken will and have touched everyone's heart."

"Over the years, Michelle and I have become close friends. She's a wonderful person, poet, and lovely soul. She is one of my best teachers in life, and I wouldn't be who I am today without her. I hope to know her for a long time!"
