Fran, David: Oh I'm so sorry...my thoughts are with you both, and Jason too...Michelle was a gift to all of us...thank you...I will always remember her radiance...and the night she went Christmas caroling with us, holding her candle, determined to make it all the way to Franklin Avenue...an example of boundless courage. My heart goes out to you...

I only knew you a short time but it was evident from the first time I met you that you were an extraordinary young woman. I miss having you in class and the way you made others around you smile and feel cheerful. Miss you Franzman.

dear david and linda,
i am shocked and saddened to hear about michelle's passing. i was a close friend of your sister, debbie. (i spoke at her service at hancock) i met michelle only twice, once at debbie's house and then at hancock college that day. i know you were all so happy that she finally received the gift of life. i had thought and hoped that all was well. this is too sad...she was a wonderful young lady...a bright light, a sweet soul...it was very easy to see.
i can only hope that you find peace...my heart and thoughts are with you.

Dear Franzman Family-I will truly miss Michelle's bright light. I loved working with her over the years and we always had such nice visits. She fit so much into her years and she always did it with energy and enthusiasm. She was so bright and I feel so privileged to have known her. I wish I could have been here to say "good bye," but I believe she knows I wish her well and am so happy to have known her. My thoughts are with you all. I am sorry not to be able to attend the funeral, but my thoughts will be with you that day and many times in the future. I will forever carry in my mind, Michelle's radiant smile.

Michelle was an amazing girl whom everyone loved. As my closest cousin and friend I treasured her uniqueness and her strength as an individual. She showed us how being yourself and accepting others no matter what for who they are is what really counts. I loved and still love her so much and am heartbroken that she didn't make it any longer. I was really looking forward to our bright future to see how Michelle, Jason, Kevin and I turn out as adults. Nobody can ever compare to Michelle as her friends and family members know and she will be greatly missed. I am so thankful I got to visit her one last time...so thankful. I can see her now running through the skies smiling down at us...Love you Shell!

Dear Michelle
I found this picture of you and I wanted to share it. You were celebrating your first anniversary after the transplant. You are so beautiful and extremely happy here. This is what I will always remember and cherish. You were such a joy and a blessing to our family and we will sorely miss you.
Love you

Oh Michelle! What a short life and to have such pain! BUT, I think that you lived a full life without the suffering that so many choose with pain.
Your memory will bring blessings to those who love you. Your spirit has touched those of us who only knew you in name. I thank your family, especially your dad, for sharing your story and reminding us once more how delicate and fragile life can be.

Dave and Family,
Your lives must have been so blessed by this amazing young woman. Just know that her spirit and joy are with you still and will be with you for the rest of your lives. Know also that Michelle touched a group of people across this country who came to know her courage and strength only through her father's loving words.
Dave, those words were enough - we share your loss.

Michelle,
I am really sorry that you had to die so young. I miss you so much. You were one of the greatest friends that I ever had. I'm sorry that you were sick during your last year of high school, and I'm sorry that you are not going to be able to graduate from high school. You'll be missed down here on earth and you'll be missed dearly by everbody who knew you. On Friday, the day that you died, Piner had a little memorial service for you near the cafeteria.
I love you and I also miss you a lot.

Michelle meant a world to me, one I was just beginning to understand and love. I know that she is not here physically, but i feel she is a bit closer to all of us than before. I can't wait until I see my babe again. As for now, she has become my special angel, one that I can hold hands with when I'm alone in the dark.
These days are very lonely, but I'm happy to know you're probably doing better than all of us are. Please don't forget me Michelle, because I won't forget our time together, and I will always love you, from now until forever.

I will never forget Michelle as I never saw her as sick or weak. The last memory of her that I have is of her all dressed up and vibrant with her cousin and hugging Laci at the Youth Ettiquette Dinner. She was always a strong soul to me. She did a lot of firsts this special year in her life. She became an adult for a brief time, voted for the first time, and not for Bush, which she was very proud of, experienced her first love, best friends were developed and nutured her, she attended new church sponsored youth activities, and captured our hearts forever. I know that because of those young examples presented to Michelle in her last physical year on earth, that she is in Paradise, was given the opportunity to hear the gospel of Jesus Christ and has taken it into her heart. She is anxiously waiting for us to join her so she can tell us all about it.

As I saw the beautiful butterflies migrating North these past few weeks I have been thinking about the beauty of life and hope that life puts a smile on your faces again.
Love and prayers always,

Though I only had the pleasure of meeting Michelle, it was so obvious, not only the love Linda has for her daughter but the love and admiration Michelle had for her mom. May God Bless you and your family.
