Michelle, I'm so sorry to hear of your husband Michael's passing. It seems that the two of you were married such a short time. While I didn't know Michael, I know that he must have been a very special man to have captured your heart. Know that I am keeping you in my prayers and holding you in my heart. Your sister in Christ!
