“A wonderful woman I first knew when she was chair of the Greater Pilton Childcare Action Group in the early 90s. She took up so many other causes over the years, in spite of ill health, and it was always an inspiration to talk with her , including at St. Columba’s earlier this month. Deepest condolences to Lauren; RIP Michelle.”
