In Loving Memory of Michelle "Mikey" Eddington

Welcome. This website is dedicated to the memory of Michelle "Mikey" Eddington who passed away Friday, January 30, 2009 in a car accident. All content written below was contributed by friends and/or family.

There is much that can be said about you dear. You made us laugh and you made us cry. I still remember you as a good person and wish I got more time with you. I remember your smiling face when I first met you and still remember that last one you gave me at Gamestop that one day.... I can't forget it. I never will. You and I still talked no matter how stupid the issues we had between us at times. I still cared for you so deeply.

I still recall the faithly nights at Lexis' house and how we were all smiling and laughing. Enjoying the warmth of each other and the fire. We all were like a family and you pull us back together one again now.

I hope you smile at the beautiful flowers I placed for you by where you have passed. I am still waiting for the bloody phone call to tell me this was all a big joke and we can yell at you and hug you.

I hold on dearly to the small jewlery box you gave me and sleep with it for comfort, knowing that it gives me some. I kept it dear to me even though the ups and downs. It was my way of saying I love you.

I want to hold you and hug you like to the time you came rushing to the store upset and I didnt care about anything but making you feel better. I hugged you and kissed your forehead and told you I cared. I only wish I said it more. You were my family, one of my girls....

My baby girl where have you gone with the smiling face and the goofy way of being that made so many happy. My baby girl... I hope you are happy now with your father and grandfather. I hope you are blessed with the knowlege of how much you ment to all the people you touched. There are so many things I wish I could of said to you... So many memories I have of you....Thank you for being appart of my life.

I didn't Know Michelle very well. But I knew her because she lived down the street from me and we rode the bus together to and from school for five days a week through middle and high school. I remember passing the time by by making jokes and telling funny stories. I rmember her jokingly telling us once she was related to Hanson. In life ..you grow apart. Michelle was always a very outgoing and full of laughter and I can only imagine she grew more full of life into her early adult years. I saw Michelle around from time to time I smiled and said hello maybe once and even delivered a pizza to her not too long ago.

I wish you well Michelle no matter where you are I know you are in a great place waiting with the ones you love and for the ones that love you.

Sweetie, I won't ever forget the first time I met you. Walked into Gamestop and Matt told me you were the new ASM and the first thing that came out of your mouth to me was, "Hello, I'm Mikey, I your everyday loving adorable Assistant Store Manager.... and I love Invader Zim...." From that moment I knew we would be AMAZING friends.

We went thru alot together in the short time I knew you. We were each other rebounds when our relationships were ending, we were long drunken nights talking on the phone about any and everything, we told stories and tales about everything in our past and even shared some of our deepest, darkest secrets. You literally held my hand as I went thru the death of my father and picked me back up when I fell to the lowest level.

Sweetie, I'll always remember the morning we sat on the hood of your car and watched night change to day and the sun started to rise. You told me you wanted me to hold you because you didn't feel loved and I said, "Sweetie, no matter how bad it gets or how much you think the world hates you; just remember you always have me to talk to." I felt the tear fall off your cheek onto my arm and you simply said, "Forever." I didn't get what you were trying to say at the time, but I get it now. Thank you for showing me how its all the little things in our lives that make the biggest impacts.

I'll miss you Mikey, we all will. You life was a star in our sky and when it went out, all sense of direction went with it. We'll find our ways again but for right now this was a blow none of us were ready to face.

Michelle, wow, the way I could ever get back in contact with you. I cannot believe it. We grew up together, right down the street in good old Kimberly Woods. I heard your name a few times in high school but never got a chance to reunite with you. I am so sorry things had to end this way. You were always such a great friend and we were together all the time. You used to tell me you wanted to be like Mariah Carey- the old good cd's she first came out with. Looks like you were a great singer and I am so sad that we missed out on so much of each others lives after my family moved. I love you Michelle... look down on all of us. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

January 30th I lost my good friend Michelle Eddington. A lot of people saw her as weak.. but little did they know she was one of the strongest women I knew in the world. I could always make her laugh when I couldn't pronounce my r's when I got sleepy... and God did I love that laugh. God did I love that voice.. God did I love that smile.. and God why did this have to happen.

Your small little frame I could pick up at any time and twirl you around while you laughed.. that laugh.

You scratched your name into my painted bookshelf a long with the rest of the family, our family.

and now...... I'll never hear your voice again but in my own head. You are beautiful...my song bird.

May you rest in the most peaceful place... playing video games till your thumbs are sore, singing songs till you drown out every angel, may you lay in a field of daisies, like the ones I placed at the site of your departure, with your father and laugh and regail in the good times. May your grandfather be restored and know and remember how much he loved you and who you were. May they all smile upon you as we all know you are smiling upon us now. That smile....
