In Memory of Michelle Wright

By the age of 19, I was already a licensed pilot and avid skydiver even though I had been in a plane crash and had a skydiving 'mishap' once when my 'chute didn't open but that sure didn't stop me. I lived for adventure! I was a junior at the University of Denver where I aspired to be a physician's assistant and was also a proud member of the DU women's soccer team. My life was blessed...I had a wonderful family, amazing friends and coaches, and a promising future. But all that came to an end November 2, 1996 when my teammates and I were on our way home from a pizza party celebrating our last game of the season and a drunk driver hit our car head on. I didn't survive.
