My heart goes out to the Michels kids and all of my other cousins on the loss of this selfless, compassionate, talented woman. I'm so glad my brothers and I got to see her on her 90th birthday, and I'll always cherish the beautiful afghan she knitted for me. Safe home, Auntie Carol. Be at peace. Love, Nanette.
