Remembering the good times, days far gone by from when we were just kids. Great memories, much laughter and “an all for one, one for all” friendships in LA (Lower Arden) that we all should have been better at keeping in touch through the years. It’s good to know Michelle went on to have such a beautiful family, I hope each of her girls know friendships like we once did, and embrace those special people into adulthood. Michelle was sure one of a kind, never short on laughter, always with a bit of a twinkle in her eyes, and a song in her soul. Sending warmest condolences to Momma Donna, Shannon, Michelle’s girls and Grandma & Grandpa Herzberg

Donna , I am so sorry to hear about your beautiful daughter. I pray God will pour his grace and love over you and your whole family during this devastating time. Love to all
RIP my cousin. Prayers for the whole family
It is fitting that today I am remembering her, as it is GS Thinking Day! We think of Scouts & Guides all over the world. My best friend’s memorial was just last year today. It is World Thinking Day, & I decided then today would also be “Other- Worldly Thinking Day “. (I believe in Heaven, but wanted to be inclusive for any belief.) She had an impact on us through those FB pages. SEE ABOVE
I was so saddened to hear Michelle had passed. I never met Michelle but got to know her through my girl scout selling page on facebook. She was so compassionate, kind and her uniqueness will be missed. Once a girl scout, always a girl scout. My condolences to her family, friends and sister girl scouts. We have lit a green candle in her honor. Please know that she touched so many because she was a girl scout leader. A drop in the pond that created so many ripples spread far and wide. RIP Green Angel
