Michele Johnson passed away last night. She was a long time member of the club. Over the last 5 or so years she has not been as active as she was battling cancer. Michele was a kind soul. She worked hard for the club and fir animal rescue. She and her husband Gary love their beagle and other hounds. She will be missed greatly.
