We had hopes that Michele would have joined the 40th LCHS Class of 1972 Reunion in the fall. It's clear though that she has answered the ultimate call with her Father in Heaven.

I've tried to recall Michele's name through the years. Like Christy Stoltenburg, I knew Michele mostly from just bus riding conversation somehow- a very pleasant person of wit and intelligence. Sorry to hear she's gone too soon.

Michele was a childhood friend, living down the street from me as long as I can remember. We attended Lawrence Elementary School together, Belzer, the LCHS. I have many good memories of having fun as kids, then growing up together. Jump rope in her driveway, riding bikes all over the place,just hanging out, walking to and from school, too many to mention. It is sad to know that she is gone now.
