Don, Lynne, Caroline & Allyson: I am sorry and feel so badly that I cannot be in Edmonton to share with you my dear sister Michelle's Last Farewell. She was such a special and inspirational person to me and to all in her family of origin. And though it has been a long goodbye, it is no less painful and devastating to lose her after this difficult period of time. I will be thinking of you, and I will always cherish so many incredibly beautiful memories of Michelle, who was truly an angel among us. It is up to us, now, to try to be more like her in our daily lives. God be with all of you. Love always Michelle, Paul. - Posted by: Paul McKenzie (Brother) on: Jul 04, 2016
