In Memory

 Michigan Center High School Alumni Memorial

For the families and friends of those who have gone before us

We have mourned your losses with you and

will always remember those who have gone before us…

special moments and memories that are frozen in time.

THORREZ, PHYLLIS JOAN (NIVISON)

Death is not an ending,
but a new beginning.

or to notify me of someone to add to the list,
