Michele LANGER

I met Michele when I moved to Arlington, MA my sophomore year of high school. We quickly became good friends and confidantes. We spent much time together working on the yearbook, in the Civil Rights Club, and just as friends. I visited Michele once at Bryn Mawr and saw that she still stood out in this intellectually elite group. I lost touch with Michele these last 10 years, but her passing is still a major loss. She, and her family are in my heart.

Michele and I sat next to each other in Spanish class at Arlington high school (MA). Our senses of humors matched well and the teacher gave me much better grades that I deserved simply because I was friend with the star student in the class. I haven´t seen her in 55 years but I still remember her as one of the special persons I have met in my life.

Wickedly smart, faithful friend. Her incandescent self will be sorely missed.

I was a paralegal, 1986-1988, at Toll Ebby & Gough which became Toll Ebby & Langer and I adored Michele and always wished I could be as elegant as she was. She was smart and classy and fun. I remember she did not hire me, but the woman she hired turned it down, and she called me to say I was her second choice and when could I start, and I was like "Monday morning" because I hated the job I had at the time so much. It was so wonderful to work with other Bryn Mawr alumnae (Michele and Teresa...

Michelle was a friend during law school and I followed her career through other friends. Not just really smart, but a really nice person. This is sad news indeed!

I was fortunate enough to attend law school at U of C with Michele. She was a wonderful conversationalist and had a sparkling personality. She is missed. Steven Fisher

Dear Alan and Lara,

I remember holding Michele's hand so tight while the Jury announced the Verdict in the Stainton
Lawsuit. My whole life was on the line and she was there for me.

And I remember her screaming with laughter as she showed me a photo of Lara having - or pretending
to have - her tongue stuck on a frozen parking meter pole.

You lost her so many years ago and I could not bear to visit...I didn't want to lose her, too.

Love, ...

Michele was a wonderful person and knowing that she´s passed away makes me very sad. When I think of her (and I think of her often) I see her laughing with enthusiasm about many many things. And smiling with disdain about many others. The obituary describes her so well, her intelligence, her charm, her insatiable curiosity. She liked Italy, Italian fashion, and the Italian language and in the past years, before her cruel disease took over her, we frequently wrote to each other, she...

She was always so nice to my sister and I. My mother worked at the firm as a secretary and we honestly grew up there. I´m so sad to hear about her passing. May God grant comfort and serenity to her loved ones.
