I just heard from my cousin Jean Noti, about Michele's passing. I went to grade school with her. She was always sweet. At our last reunion she made a point of connecting me with old friends from the ward. We had such a great time. She was someone that you would not see, or talk with for a long time, and just pick up where you left off. A good friend. I will keep her and her family in my prayers. There is no greater pain then losing someone you love, but sometimes friends help fill in your heart with good memories of them.
Peace,
Shirley Glogowski Schoeneberger

Jim and family,

My husband and I were in the process of moving back to PA from SC. Donna Sartori told me about losing Michele. We were on the Reunion committee for CCHS and I really got to know her after HS. She was a sweet, loving, wonderful person and always extended herself to anyone in need. In addition, she was one of the funniest people I know. I use to visit her at home when your daughter was young and Michele wasn't feeling well.

My sympathy and prayers go out to all of you and I will keep Michele in my thoughts as well.

God bless you,
Pat Burian

My heart is so sad to say good bye to my dearest friend since I was 12 years old,a special person who i called "my second Mother". She had an infectious personality and genuine concern for everyone she knew, never overly complaining about her own ailments. I will deeply miss her and she will forever be remembered.May you rest in peace,my friend. I'll always love you!

I knew Michele pretty much my entire life. She was one of my sister Bonnie's best friends and my other sister, Joanne, has always been close with Judy. Anytime I came in contact with Michele throughout the years, her smile, kind words and optimism were second to none and she displayed this to the end of her life. It was always a pleasure to be around her. My sincere condolences to Jimmy, Nicole, Judy and other family members. May Michele's kindness, courage and optimism be an inspiration to us all. God bless, Joe Groller & Family
