Remembering you sitting with Jim Sloat at brunch at our 35th, we didn't talk much that day, but the comfort of familiar faces and one smiling back at me, I will always remember. Glad we were on the same ride, you'll be missed.

Goodbye Michelle. Well, it's been several years since we've last seen each other, or even spoken, but I've often thought of you fondly over the years. We knew each other in high school and middle School and your friendship during that time has simply become part of what I think of when I remember Blue Mountain Middle School and Hendrick Hudson High School. You were tall, even statuesque with long blond hair, a wonderful smile and you always had a very practical manner. Thank you for being part of my life. You will be Missed. Rest in peace
