I am so sorry for your loss. Michelle was a wonderful person and chose here profession wisely. She never cared to help anyone do anything. Nothing was beneath her (especially if it made our patients comfortable). I am honored to know that she crossed my path in this life and I hope and I pray that I'm good enough to cross her path in the next life.
