To Michelle's family:
Michelle and I knew each other from business we regularly conducted at the Federal Reserve Bank in Kansas City. I went to e-mail her this morning, to check and see how she was doing, and the e-mail came back. I found the obituary, and wanted you to know-- what you already know-- she was an outstanding, caring person. And I'm so sorry for your loss, but I know that by her faith in the Lord, she is watching over you all now. The ongoing battle she had is over and she is at peace. May the peace and love of Jesus be with you.
