To Michelle & Family
God has a plan that sometime I know we just do not understand. I know it's hard to loose a special love one and that you feel your circle has been broken. Keep in mind and in your hearts that what your love one couldn't do here on earth, he can do up with our father in heaven. If either of you need anything, just call. Love Always
