My deepest condolences for your loss, Michele sounded like a remarkable
woman. I have just moved to Takoma Park, from Oregon, and came across
Michele's obituary in the Washington Post. What a surprise to see names I know from the
vanagon list. Even though we have never met, we now share two communities,
and my thoughts are with you.
