I would give anything just to hug you one last time. I can't imagine a world without you in it. Thank you for loving me and forgiving me when I was being the biggest bitch. Thank you for all the great memories I have of us. I'm going to miss your laugh, your smile, your kindness, your compassion. You took a piece of me with you when you left this world that left me with a huge hole in my heart. I will always love you...I will always miss you. Thank you for getting me in to my oncologist and staying with me through chemo when you could. I will never forget all the kindness you have shown to me, my family, my husband and my babies. They will never know how lucky they were to be loved by you and I dread farrah telling me she wants to see aunt Michele. Truth is telling her you've become an angel isn't true because you were my angel already when you were here. Thank you for crawling into bed with me when I was on the long chemo. You'll never know that just your presence was comfort to me. Thanks for keeping it real when I talked to you about being sick and scared. I'm sorry for all the times I should have been a better friend. I'm sorry for telling you that you were too sensitive and needed to have thicker skin sometimes when you would tell me that something hurt you. I know now that you can not have a heart as big as yours and not be sensitive. Thanks for always making me feel good about myself. Thanks for loving me like a sister. I know you are with Georgie and holding him the way I wish I could hold you right now. Put in a good word for me up there. Ask him to let me be around long enough so my kids won't forget me. I know you will be waiting for me. I'm going to hug you so long when I get there. I'm glad you have another best friend that knows EXACTLY the way I feel right now. I have a feeling I'm going to need her. I have a lifetime of memories that I am grateful for. Thanks for being the kind of person that's worth this heartache I'm feeling to lose you.

Please accept my deepest condolences on your loss. Psalm 34:18 tells us that God is close to the broken-hearted and those crushed in spirit He saves. May this bring a measure of comfort to your family to know that God is aware of your pain and is near to give you the strength to cope with such a loss.

I am heartbroken over the passing of Michelle. I first met Michelle because I babysat her. She was about 2 or 3 years old and she looked just like Tweety Bird with those big beautiful eyes. When her mom and my brother married I was blessed to have her as a niece. As we all grew older and life happened we lost contact but I was able to see her at Georgies funeral and she was amazing. She was a beautiful woman with a beautiful family.
The hardest thing about loosing someone is that we are left on this earth to miss them. They on the other hand are in a blessed place where there is no suffering no heartache and God resides. Eventually we will all be reunited and that is how I find peace. Know that we all will be reunited with Michelle and rejoice in that knowledge. Till we meet again Michelle I love you. Love Aunt Gerrie
