My family and I were so sorry to hear about Michelle's death. We knew her through Dr. Albinder's office in Chesapeake. We always enjoyed seeing her when we would have an appointment. She always took time to chat with *all* of us, my children included. We will miss seeing her smiling face at the office.

I am so sorry for your loss. May you rely on God who promises to comfort us during our times of distress. We read at 2nd Corint. 3:1, "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort." Your family will be in my prayers.
