Monteith clearly made a huge impact on people. Michele has spoken about Monteith on this anniversary every year. Last year, she wrote, "I know you would want us all laughing and smiling today... So we think of you and remember all the laughter and joy we shared together." The year before, her tribute was, "We hold you in our hearts today, and every day we remember your smile."
