It’s pretty hard when a loved has passed. But, the thought of knowing is that she is in a better place. And that she’s still together with loved one's help’s in our grief. Rest in peace Michelle

I am so sorry for your loss. I have many childhood memories of Michelle — especially of us playing for hours every day in the pool at the Park Forest YWCA Aqua Center. My condolences to your family. May your fond memories console you at this time.
