I know this is a long shot but did you know the Martin family? They lived on Kingsbury closer to Warren Ave. I graduated in 1972 and their daughter Vickie Martin was my best friend since 3rd grade in Highview. Over the years I’ve tried to find her so this is another effort to locate her. Thank you for any help you may have.

I am shocked and saddened to learn of the passing of Sharon. Her strength and ability to provide comfort to terminally ill patients and their loved ones does not surprise me since she was a very kind and giving person during the time I knew her. She missed the fall colors of Michigan living in Texas and I bet they are spectacular now with her view from heaven. Rest In Peace  dear Sharon.

Hi Carmen i’m not sure if you remember me we did have at least one class together and I remember how nice it was to see you. you were always very kind to me. you’re one of the few people that signed my yearbook and I totally understand about how you must have felt in ninth grade, I felt that way the entire four years of high school. Wish you and your family the best they sound great and I’m happy for you take care my friend .

Like Gail I was lucky to have grown up with Linda less the continuation of education years. My memories of Linda especially in high school where others could be so judgmental she was the one who liked you for you and could not be swayed by clicks or those better off than you. She was always very  kind to me and I am extremely sadden by her passing. She is one of the classmates I would have loved to see at our reunion. RIP my dear Linda your memory lives  on.

Michelle was my locker partner. Always very friendly and her shelf was always loaded with books. Sad to hear of her passing.
