I met Michele at the Y in water aerobics class. We bonded instantly, we were both quilters and could talk about anything. If I skipped a class she would call and sing a message for me. I told her I was keeping them until I could make a greatest hit album. It was such a shock to hear she was gone but I played her hits and they stuck in my head. I knew she was still with me. Know that I you her too.
