Dear Susan,

Even to date, passing the coffee shop is a reminder of how Michele made such a big impression in a small place. He was keen...had compassion for giving others opportunities in 'his world.'

We met because of our friendship with your Aunt Gina. The Thompson have fond memories of a scrumptious Sunday lunch at your home. It was certainly great food and good fellowship.

To you, Dominic, Sophia, Alexis and the family we extend our sincere and heartfelt condolences.
~Remembering Michele, in prayerful meditations~
