I knew Michelle in College. I just finished reading a letter that I received from her in 1984. Although we never kept in contact I will always remember her. I remember back in college I wasn't doing very well in my statistics class. She had me and a few other friends to study the night be for the final examine. I ended up getting a final mark in the 70's which meant I must of got at least 90 % on the final. Thanks Michelle, rest in peace. - Posted by: Theresa Negrey (Devry College Friend) on: Jun 26, 2016
