I am so sorry to hear about MICHELLE. She and I worked together at Palmerton and Lehigh Valley Hospital and sat together occasionally at our son's football games. She was always smiling and ready to tell me a story to crack me up..I am so sorry for your loss and I will miss her so much too.

To my childhood buddy Klaus -The Atlanta Steigerwalts are saddened by this news and want to send their deepest sympathies to you and your family. I got to see Michelle a few years back in action at the hospital and she was as energetic and vivacious as when she was a child. I am so sorry for your loss.

I have fond memories of Michelle from as far back as Lehighton High School. We used to be able to eat an entire large pizza, laugh at nothing, and talk all night. We spent a New Year's eve in the Poconos and watched each other grow up and have families. I will always remember her beautiful smile and infectious laugh. My deepest sympathy to Glenn, children and family.
Love,
Annie Walck (Poandl)
