Hey Michy, I can’t believe I am writing this tribute to you.
We have been mates since the age of 10, either meeting at Jackie Thomas’s dance school or through our parents, I can’t remember which came first.
You were such a talented performer Mich with such an aptitude for dance, drama and singing. Of course I and many others will never forget you performing as Annie – you were a star born. I sang ‘Maybe’ when my children were babies, when I was trying to get them to sleep, and it always reminded me of you xx
I was so proud to say you were my friend that performed on the West End Stage in Joseph Technicolor Dreamcoat with Jason Donovan, Starlight Express and of course in Kylie Minogue’s video “Can’t get you out of my Head” - I remember one evening you teaching my daughters (and me) the moves to that song.
When you returned back from London, you set up your fantastic Urban Heart Theatre. You led your school with such creative passion. The children adored you Mich and you believed in every one of those kids and instilled such confidence in them - as well as a beautiful performer you were a natural teacher.
You were cheeky, very funny, beautiful and such a lovely kind friend and all that is left to say is I will always miss your Michy. Lots of Love Sal xxx
