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.

Oh god..what can i say...i'll never forget her, that's for sure, i remember i helped her move 3 times one year. she always kept me laughing though, and when i need to get away from my house, she always welcomed me to her house or apt. she was just so kind and loving. she always had a place for everyone who needed one, her smile and laugh could light up a room...i know she's in a better place....i just don't want to accept that she's gone....i'll miss you Mikey...i love you

I met Mikey her very first day of High School. From that moment on it was like we were joined at the hip. We went through so much together. SO MUCH! For a while it was "Kenan and Mikey" always together. Always. Her family "adopted" me as their own. We went to Hilton Head, Disney. About 3 years ago, I just got tired of it. All the drama. I refused to talk to her. I was ready to move forward with my life and I felt like she was holding me back. I didn't hate her, I didn't even dislike her, even though people, including her, thought I did. She even tried to add me on Facebook about 3 weeks ago, I just ignored it. Never in a million years did I think I would be writing in her memory. I'm in shock. I'm sorry I never got to make my peace with you, Michelle. You were a huge part of my life and I will never forget that. Rest In Peace. Say hi to your dad and grandpa for me.

I first met Mikey when i was dating Kenan, at the time they were best friends. It was obvious at the moment we met that she would be a part of my life from then on. I never was extremely close to Mikey, because i do block people out; but she did mean a lot to me. More than people know.

I remember when Kenan told me that Mikey could sing better than Amy Lee. I didn't believe it, i couldn't because she was just so tiny how could she belt it like that? But she sang for me just a little bit to show me how wrong my assumptions were. She really did have a voice like an angel.

I miss you already Mikey, and your impromptue fashion shows, dancing, singing, how you made me laugh when i was broken, i miss everything already, and always will.

Many people judged mikey about many things, but few could have ever denied that Mikey loved people. She would bend over backwards while reciting a broadway musical if it meant that their mood was elevated slightly. She was always the first to volunteer for anything you may need, even if it didn't fit in her plans.

Her smile was contagious, she couldn't stand for people to be sad. She shared other's feelings when they were not as happy as her. She felt, trully felt, other's pain. Almost as if she made it her own pain. She was had a tendency to fill a room with smiles and laughter.

I know Mikey would want her rememberance to be happy memories and joyous times instead of an expression of the pain that we all are feeling. So i ask of you, when we all remember her on Wednesday, the fourth of February, 2009, Be strong like she was. Be bold like she was. Would she want this to be a day of sadness and tears or a day of celebration and honor?

I don't know what to say. Words won't come to me. We were best friends for six or seven years. We clicked instantly.

I remember, we met at Austin Harmon's Halloween party, about a week or so after I moved here. I was talking to my interest at the time regarding Frank Sinatra. Mikey was walking into the room, overheard, and we began a conversation about everything that lasted all night long. Since that night, we were completely inseparable for the entire few years.

Mikey will always hold a special place in my life. After hearing the news, I refused to believe it. I still refuse. I had a dream about her, though, on the night of the 30th. It wasn't long -- She was basically telling me over and over that everything was going to be okay, and she's happy she's with her father again.

Everyone that knew Michelle loved her. Most did, at least. Everyone has their enemies, though I find it hard to dislike her. Sure, we had our disagreements, but who doesn't? We fought like sisters. We'd fight like cat and dog, then the next day, we'd be best friends again, and go on acting like nothing happened. We helped eachother with everything. When she broke up with everyone she ever dated, I was the first person at her house, holding her while she cried. We did everything together, and I'll never be the same without her.

The thing I regret the most is moving when I did. I'm not going to be able to make it down for the service, and that absolutely kills me. I want so bad to be there -- I owe her that much. I owe her everything. She was there for me through the rain and storms, and during the blueskies and rainbows. I love her more than anyone else I've ever met.
