Connie and Dan and Families, We send our greatest sympathy and our love for all of you at this time of such sad loss. Our own daughter, as you know, passed sixteen years ago on May 10, and the hurt is still an everyday occurrence. Time will ease the pain, and we pray your wonderful memories of Michelle will help you. We had so many good times with you and your family which will remain forever with us. Michelle was a special young lady who was blessed with a wonderful family. We lost touch with you in latter years but are so proud of the way she was supported by her birth family and her present family and friends. It’s obvious she had such love for you. God Bless All of You!
Words, however kind, can’t mend your heartache, but those who care and share your loss wish you comfort and peace of mind. May you find strength in the love of your family and in the warm embrace of friends.
