A sweet beautiful girl who wrote the nicest words in my yearbook. I have looked at what she wrote from time to time over the past 40 years. When my wife and I walked into the 30th reunion, there was Michele, as beautiful as ever, with that smiling, welcoming face. Now they're both gone from this world....but I'd like to think that they're hanging out, getting to know each other on the the other side. Regards to Michele's family. RIP my good friend.
I remember the day I took that photo of Michele and Tony. What a great time we had. With our crew there was rarely a serious moment. We got it done havin' fun!
Miss you girl!
I am very sad! She was a very sweet girl. We were rivals back in the day...
and even still, she was ALWAYS NICE TO ME! Even wrote in my yearbook,
"Good luck, to a beautiful girl!", that's how BIG HEARTED she was, bc we both went after the same guy! My heartfelt condolences to her family! She ALWAYS
HAD A S M I L E, may she rest in peace!
Michele was the embodiment of H.S. spirit. When you think of the "All American High School Girl" you have Michele. Just wonderful, kind and happy. The kind of person that everyone could call friend.
I just click onto the In Memory page and was so saddened to see MIchele's name. I have some truly happy memories of her and Mona and was looking forward to seeing her at the reunion. It's hard to find words for someone you haven't seen in forty years but whenever I thought about school she was always in my thoghts. My prayers go out to her family, she was surly a rare treasured person.
My beautiful sister Sandra died of inflammatory breast cancer in 2003. I know something of the terror, I know something of the desperate need to know why. I also know something of the dignity of facing the inevitable with tremendous strength of heart and faith. There really is no saying goodbye, you carry them with you always--tucked deep and safe in your heart.
I am so sorry to hear that Michele had to walk this walk. I have memories of her as a strong young woman with a hearty laugh and upbeat personality. She worked hard on any project she got involved in and you could be sure she would get the work done. I know her friends loved her dearly and must miss her terribly. My prayers go out to them all and to her family.
ps This memory is for you Michele...I remember in elementary school, maybe second grade or so--your mom made you an awesome pumpkin costume. She was a fantastic seamstress and you really strutted your little stuff in it! To this day I can see you in that bright orange globe of a costume--how we all wished we had one!
It must be true that the good die young
Such a great person with greatness at her command
I remember a very young Michele and the parties in the basement at her home (MOM'S) Rob Cullen and Gene Cubeta
Listening to the old 45's, Spin the bottle , 7 minutes in heaven etc. young and innocent kids loving and living in that moment..Knowing you has been a mojor Blessing
Thanks Shelly Not seeing you for so long was a loss
When Tony first told me about Michele, I was shocked and heart broken. It brought back all the memories ( diagnosed Breast Cancer in 2002 ) of the operations and chemo for many months that some of us have to go through..I watched many of my " Chemo Friends" lose their life and I used to say why not me.. I'm here and they are gone.. If any of you ever have the opportunity to be a " friend to someone who is going through this, especially during Chemo and/or radiation, please share their ups and downs..It is an awful experience to go through and one I hope and pray none of you ever have to go through, no matter what type of cancer you have. Michele was such a friendly and kind person and as we all know, always a big smile..We on occasion, met up at the Dr. office during our high school years as we had the same Doctor. I pray for her and her family and thankful she is free from her pain and suffering. God Bless, Michele, you are missed!
