Sad news to report about Michel. Sadly, Michel's wife lost her battle with illness yesterday, the 4th of July.
Thank you Shawn (ledbetter) for letting me know.
Many of us on the discussion board have read Michel's work. We have also laughed with, argued with, agreed with and disagreed with many things over the past few years that Michel has been on the boards. I thought that his extended, international family should know and share.
On behalf of all of us, I will pass on our condolences to Michel and his young son.
I’m very sorry to hear about your loss. You were very quick to express how much Bérangère meant to you. I know you two were very close. My condolences to you, your son, and the rest of your family.
I can't really express how sorry I am for the loss of your wife.
I don't personally know of your relationship with her, but I could definitely see your love for her reflected in your writings. She was clearly very special to you.

Oh Michel, when you are able to sit down and look at the computer again, please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your son. God bless.
Loosing the one person you've committed your whole life to being with until the end has got to be the hardest walk to take in the wake of all the other ups and downs you are put through here on earth...
You dedicate your existence to someone, then that existence comes together and dedicates itself to the existence of a family... More often that not we take for granted the things that make life -- life. And sometimes we might not even take them for granted, sometimes we just over look them for awhile... Here is one instance that truly wakes you up, and I am truly sorry for your loss and what you are going through and what you will endure.
I'm sure you have a wealth of memories that will keep your head looking into the future... You will see her again, Michle. Trust in that & God bless.
I don't know you, but that doesn't matter. Losing someone that important must be the hardest experience one must go through. Be strong, and my condolences go out to all of her loved ones.
Michel, part of me thinks it inappropriate to respond to your personal tragedy, as you don't know really know me at all. Yet, I do feel like I've come to know you quite a bit through reading your work - through your humour, your unique and often moving turn of phrase, and your prolific postings.
The "giggling river" still stays with me - such is the power of words.
So, from the other side of the world I wish for you faith and hope and peace and the knowledge that your wife's love stays with you in your heart, and in the heart of your child. God Bless.
I've started this post a few times now but all words just seem to pale in a situation like this. Everything just seems so irrelevant.
I am truly very sorry for you and your family's loss and I can't even begin to imagine what you are going through.
You have to be strong for your son and I hope that you have friends and family around you that will be strong for you because you can't tackle this all by yourself.
My thoughts are with you - stay well - stay strong.

You are a really great person: every chat we've had I've enjoyed which makes this even harder for me to try and approach. Anyway, I offer my condolences to you and your family.
Death is tough, but I'm a spiritual kind of guy. I believe that when people die they are still with us... Whether it be in our mind and hearts through memories, or in a more spiritual way.
You're such a nice, enthusiastic, patient guy, and that something like this should happen to you and your son seems so sad and unfair. Just know that all of us are thinking of you.
No words can really be of comfort at this most difficult of times. I trust that you and your young son will benefit from your wife's spirit enriching and protecting you.
I can't write the words that are in my heart They don't come because I can't start To understand the feelings when we part But we remember her love in your art
Michel, my words can't possibly make you feel any better but I, and everyone at SS, would like to wish you and your son our deepest condolences in your time of sadness.
Check out my scripts...if you want to, no pressure.
from the deepest of my heart to all your messages.
You can't imagine how much your support means to me in the hardest moment of my life. Bérangère (beside my son Nicolas) meant everything to me. She just turned 30. And the saddest is all this happened as she was pregnant of what would have been a little sister to Nicolas. I lost them both. They're now both up there...
Funerals are thursday.
Please find hereabove two songs. The first was one of her favorites. The second is a French song I would translate the title as "I will never stop to love you". Please keep those two songs in your heart when you think of her.
Thank you and see all you soon.
Michel
PS: one of the weirdest thing above all is I would never guessed how much prophetic was my script "Forever... and Again" written ten years ago.
Michel, Based on the outpouring of love and sadness, I would think it proper to assume you are very cared for both professionally and on a personal level here.
Carry in your heart all of the strength our prayers can offer, knowing that every soul is created in heaven.
GOD just needed her back to complete his ultimate plan; perhaps to be with and take care of your daughter.
When I read this message board I was shocked and moved to tears.
I've only read a couple of Michel's scripts and exchanged a dozen posts with him- I don't know him personally -but to hear of his loss fills me with sadness.
Just like everyone here else I am deeply sorry for your lose Michel.
I am so sorry for your loss, my simply scripts brother. I didn't know she was sick... and thirty is much too young...
I'm sending you a cyber hug and you and your son are in my prayers.

Michel; I'm saddened greatly to hear of your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family that you may find strength and comfort during this very challenging and difficult time.

Among a community that leans toward the younger, we celebrate many, many birthdays, but a death is rare. I can only imagine that is why so many of us are at a loss for words, since our experiences with such a thing are going to be heavily limited to grandparents and far too many horror movies.
However, you can certainly be assured that you are cared for by this group and my thoughts are with you and yours as you cope with this unexpected change and during the rather difficult transitional period that will follow.
Nothing will ever be the same, but you have a lot of support around the world.
I'm really very new to Simplyscripts but you were one of the first to give feedback on my first script on here, At Sea. I had no idea about your wife's illness, only that you put her photo as your avatar and I thought she looked pretty and it was such a nice thing to do.
There's not much else I can say, so I'll echo what has been said before. I'm very sorry for your loss and send best wishes to your family at this time.
I too can only echo what has been said before because it can never be said too much. I'm sorry for your loss and offer my deepest condolences to you and your family.
First of all, I reitarate my thanks to everyone for your support. Believe me or not, but this support touched deeply in my heart. Now, I try to look forward, but the administrative settlements are still here to tear my heart apart.
The funerals were magnificent. There were about 200 people to accompany Bérangère to the end. I never saw as many flowers over a tomb.
Today, the flesh I knew by heart, I cherished, I kissed, is ashes. I've lost my right arm, but I have my life preserver: my son Nicolas. He has been stronger than his father (maybe beacuse of his young age) and he gives me a roasting when he sees me cry.
Anyway, today I decided to come back on the threads and I want to be treated as if nothing had happened. For the ones who visited my site, you could read those words: "Writing for Living. Living for Writing" Today, this my motto.
I'm sorry to have not reply to the many PM you sent but I hope you'll forgive me.
I might have mentionned already the song hereunder, but today it means a lot to me:
From the deep of my heart (and in the name of my son - who can't speak English yet) thank you again.
Michel, I have been away for a month and this was the first thread I read on my return and it is absolutely heartbreaking. I can't begin to know what you have been through and hope that I never do but just wanted to add to all of these wonderful comments you have received. I am glad you are remaining strong and have your son to help you move forward.
During this holiday season, Michel, it gives me great pleasure to know that we have helped -- in whatever small way we could -- during the darkest days you will likely ever know.
It makes me very proud of our little community here, and yes, you do have friends who keep you in their thoughts -- or their prayers.
Here is to hoping that your "nouvelle année" is a great one, Michel, filled with unexpected happiness.
You, perhaps above all others, deserve it grandly for your perseverance and great strength.
