I trust that just as prayers brought you through your time in the NICU (when I first met you), prayers will help you to feel God's presence walk beside you as you take this sorrowful journey.

To Michelle and her family,
No words can express such a heavy heart that I feel for you and your family. We have not seen each other in many years, yet time can not earase the genuine feelings you both displayed always. You are good people and god has laid his plan, know that he will always be with you. So young to be taken, I am deeply sorry. My prayers to the Blessed Mother will be for you, keep the faith and it will get you all through. God bless all of you. Christine (Bucci) Soto-former class mate.
