      Michael, I heard from Diane Gerald, early Monday afternoon that Michelle DeSousa passed away last Sunday, July 13.  Diane has been home, from Rehab, two weeks this Wednesday; she is staying with her daughter during her recuperation and rehabilitation therapy.  We need to continue to keep her and her family n our thoughts and Prayers.    I don’t have any information about Michelle’s family.
