I was so sad to hear of Micheileen's passing. She was a kind and caring person. She loved fashion and wore such beautiful clothing! She so loved SPAC and the symphony and was so proud of her son, Michael. I am sure she is very missed by all those who knew her.

I came to Micheileen around the time I was 52, and asked for help investing for the future ... something I had never started. For the next 23 years she tried explaining what she was doing, but I, having no head for figures, just nodded and said, "Sure, whatever you think is best."
It turned out that we ended talking mostly about our families than investments, but through the years she did a great job of managing my money.
I will miss her friendship most of all. She was a splendid friend.

Michael - I was saddened to see that your mother passed away. I, too, was at UAlbany when she served as Director of Admissions. She did very well in that position as the University was expanding with new departments and fields of study. And, we often saw each other at various events and activities, like Art Shows. My wife was also a member of the Albany Arts Center so that, too, brought us together. She will always be remembered by those of us who knew her. You had an accomplished mother.
