  2. My fondest memories of Michelle are from our childhood as Camp Fire Girls. We hiked, camped and learned a lot skills together including all the camp songs we used to sing. I will not be with you in person on Saturday but my thoughts and prayers continue for her family and all of her friends.#thesingingbluebirds
