A toast of 1997 Bouchard Volnay to Michele with memories of driving with Steve and Michele around Burgundy enjoying the scenery, history, and wines.

Happy 4th of July Michele. you are missed and remembered today and always.

As we celebrate the birthday of our country, I toast this glass of champagne to include both Michele and also her husband Steve. Gone but never forgotten.

Here is a toast to you with a glass of 2016 Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon Special Selection. You will never be forgotten!

I viewed the pictures of Steve, you, and I in France-Happy Birthday to you.

Happy Birthday-you are loved and remembered!

I first met Steve at Wine Club Santa Ana and then Kathy and I were invited to enjoy a glass of wine with Michele and Steve at their home near our home in Fountain Valley. It was a fun afternoon talking about wine, food, and France! Eventually, we went to Champagne and Burgundy together. Michele will always be remembered for the good times together. Bless you Michele.

I had the pleasure of taking care of Michele for a little over 2 years while she was part of a study with us at Hoag. She came in every month for her infusion, passing the time with lovely visits. I had the chance to get to know her and her daughter Marlene and husband Steve. We talked travel, especially Hawaii. Her and Steve gave me crash courses in island travel and where to go since my husband and I honeymooned in Maui summer of 2016. Marlene would quiz her on workbooks from speech therapy class...many of them stumped me! Her light will continue on through her family and friends who knew her best. I was honored to share many moments with Michele. As nurses we tend to get a brief snapshot; however, because of her continued commitment we had developed a personal friendship. Cheers and Blessings~~Nurse Laura

I have never forgotten your smile and words of encouragement Michele as you and Steve took me to the Lyon, France train station for the start of my journey back to Walnut Creek, Ca. This took place over 25 years ago but you will never be forgotten. It was a great wine trip in Champagne and Burgundy with you and Steve that will always be remembered. I raised a glass of 2006 Beaune Bressandes to you last night!!!
