She will be missed by the many friends she met through our Support Group   I would like to extend our heartfelt condolences to Michelle's family.

Sincerely,

I know that Michelle personally felt very comforted and uplifted by the friends and support she received at support group.  When she finally got the approval she couldn't wait to tell everyone at group, knowing that they would be just so genuinely happy.  I miss her dearly and keep thinking about everything we have done and I know that is what she would want, not for us to be sad, but to remember the good times.  Sometimes, this is just so hard to do when you just plain old miss her. 
See you at group,
Alicia
