    A triumph over exclusion, rejection, derision, aggression ; the pinnacle of success attained - in body, mind, heart and soul. Her story of heroism on the battlefield of life should be shared as an inspiration to the young, the whimperers and whingers among us. I have been shamed into complaining less. Love her with all my heart.

    I first saw her in a documentary done many years ago about young and upcoming young dancers. She was one of the dancers featured in the program. I remember thinking then, that she was unique and beautiful. She had such a graceful and lovely quality about her dancing that I felt really made her stand out. I had great hopes for her, and I am so glad that she did have a fulfilling career albeit, cut off because of this tragedy. In the movie, her adoptive family - her mother, specially, talked about hand sewing all her dance outfits…so loving and supportive. I understand that her adoptive mother actually passed around the same time, making this a double-tragedy. I pray for her sister and family members, who must be reeling from grief. She reminded me of a butterfly when she danced. I understand that she was inspired to become a ballerina after a photo she saw as a child…she was and became much more beautiful and inspiring than the picture she cherished. I pray she is dancing with her mother in Heaven.

    This is very upsetting to me. My daughter had a heart condition that she got surgery for. It was a condition that caused her heart to beat very fast. She would past out many times. She was diagnosed when she was 14 years old and had the surgery at age 33. I'm not sure what kind of heart condition she had but early detection is important. Rest in peace Michaela.

      What a horrible comment to write, accusing a grieving family of lying. It is none of our business how Michaela died, all us fans need to do is continue to share her light so that her legacy lives on. For what it's worth, my childhood friend was a vocational musical theatre student, with an undiagnosed heart condition until her late teenage years. Since then I've lost count of how many open heart surgeries she's had. You speak like an expert on heart disease but you clearly have minimal experience. My friend campaigned successfully for every student in our college to receive a free heart check- perhaps a better use of time and energy than spreading toxic ideas.
