Michele Moomaugh

My friend Michele Moomaugh was killed today in a car crash. She
was one of the sweetest, wisest, strongest, most tender, and caring people
I've ever known. She was Robin Reid's business partner for many
years. I saw her last at his birthday party just a week ago. We
talked of getting together to catch up on one another. It had been too long.

This is one of the few images I have of Michelle, taken at the party.
I apologize for my lack of skills "extracting" hair from a busy background.

What I love about this picture is this is how I saw Michele so often --
fascinated by something, offering a wise comment or observation, thoroughly
engaged and in love with life.

Please visit Robin's gallery as well. http://www.pbase.com/image/79849747

It's just not right to think of her not here with us anymore. I'm glad you captured this shot - it makes it feel like she's right across the table from me enjoying a meaningful conversation! Thank you for sharing.

Oh no! Gary I am deeply sorry for the loss of your vibrant friend.

I hope the old adage is true that joy shared is doubled, and sorrow shared is halved.

I feel for both you & Robin as you go through this period of grieving for the loss of a special person in your life.

She looks like she had such a good spirit which now lives on. She will be deeply missed by all those that loved her. My heart goes out to you and to Robin and her family and friends whom she touched.

You are so right GW. A wonderful and warm woman in so many ways. People from all over the world love her and will be in shock when they learn this news. Wonderful tribute. Thanks my friend.

I'm so sorry! She looks like such a fun character...
...it's hard to adjust in the darkness when a bright light goes out...

I am so very sorry, Gary. In every photo I've seen of Michele she seemed to shine with wit and intelligence. A great loss to friends and family.
