She loved the traditional Japanese art of her birthplace. She loved the sun and spent a lot of time at the beach. Her favorite beach was San Clemente. She enjoyed reading and watching TV and spending time with her cats. Michele had a kind and humble spirit as she always believed in helping others by giving them a second chance. She opened her heart and home to troubled youths and the homeless community. She also knew how to have fun with her beautiful smile, infectious laugh, and wild sense of humor.
Michele will forever be loved by her family and friends. She will remain in our hearts for the rest of our lives, and we will cherish the fond memories we have of her while she lived and loved everyone around her. She was a rebel who lived her life to the fullest and never had any regrets. She will be dearly missed, but never forgotten.
