Moss, Peter and Susan: I am so profoundly sorry for the loss of Michele. I take great solace that you were all with her and she undoubtedly felt the love of her family when she crossed over. I remember when Moss and Michele took myself and my children to Flat Rock years ago while I was home for a visit and a few days later, Michele brought me a photo album with all the pictures she had taken that afternoon of our time together. I have always cherish her thoughtfulness.
Godspeed Michele. All my Love and Thoughts are with
you Moss, Peter and Susan.
Love Aunt Mary Carole ❤️🌹❤️

Michael and Annette and family members…I am thinking of you as you say good-bye to Michele. Losing a loved one is a terrible experience. You have many friends who share the loss with you.
