Eloise, Joe and Shane
I'm so sorry and heartbroken to hear about Michelle. I know there are no words that I or anyone can say that can ease the pain you must be going through. I'm sorry I didn't know her after she grew up but I want you to know that no matter how much time passes or whether we haven't had contact- you will always be family and in my thoughts and prayers. If there was something I could do to take the pain away- I would. We need to hold those we love close because life has no guarantees. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I love you all.
