My deepest sympathy to a Loving Family. Lord, make me a channel of thy peace; that where there is hatred, I may bring love; that where there is wrong, I may bring the spirit of forgiveness; that where there is discord, I may bring harmony; that where there is error, I may bring truth; that where there is doubt, I may bring faith; that where there is despair, I may bring hope; that where there are shadows, I may bring light; that where there is sadness, I may bring joy. Lord, grant that I may seek rather to comfort than to be comforted; to understand, than to be understood; to love, than to be loved. For it is by self-forgetting that one finds. It is by forgiving that one is forgiven. It is by dying that one awakens to eternal life. Amen.

Jimmy, Nancy and family, It truly breaks my heart to hear the very sad news I heard today. No parent should ever outlive their own child I can only give my deepest sympthies to your family.

Dear Harry, Nancy, Jim, "Uncle" Jimmy, and the rest of the DePiano and Lewis family: I am so very sorry. I don't even have words to express the loss I feel and the feelings you all must be going through. You are all in my prayers and thoughts. Michelle was such a good friend to me for a large portion of my life; almost half of my life. From Patriots cheerleading, to us working at McDonald's imagine that one, driving around in her Lumina and in a flowered car in our crazy teenaged years...to reuniting with her about 6 months before Rayne's birth. I am so grateful that I was priviledged enough to be at the baby shower a year ago and see how absolutely radiant Michelle looked. And for getting to meet the miracle child named Rayne. I hope Rayne knows through her life what a wonderful, loving, funny, beautiful, smart woman her mother was. The love of a mother will never fade. My deepest sympathies, Julie Galindo Heitz

Nancy and Jimmy, I can't even imagine for one minute what you are feeling. Remember that you are surrounded by family and friends at this time, while Michelle is surrounded by the angels in heaven! I only pray that the poem below brings you some comfort No one knows the silent heartache Only those who have loved can tell The grief we bear in silence For the one we loved so well. The tears in our eyes we wipe away But the pain in our hearts is here to stay The dearest child the Earth could hold The kindest smile and heart of gold. To all who knew you, all will know Just what we lost awhile ago. We mourn but dare not question why God called her home just when Her future seemed secure and bright We only pray to meet again. Good night, Michelle, we love you.

Dear DePiano and Lewis Family, I am very sorry for your loss. Your family will be in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time in your life. Harry, I understand what you are going through. When you are ready, please contact me about the Young Widow Support Group I started, I lost my husband four months ago at the age of 32. I have a two year old and I am expecting another in April. My deepest sympathy, Christina LaGreca Davidson

Dear Harry, Rayne, and family, I can truly say that my world was that much brighter because of Michelle. She was such a breath of fresh air and always kept me smiling. Every time she and I had the chance to "catch up" I knew that I would be entertained because catching up with Michelle was a good hour or two conversation! I am so deeply saddened to hear of your loss and if there is anything I can do to help you, I am around the corner. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. I feel blessed to have had Michelle in my life. Love, Carolyn Arata Del Masto

Dear Jimmy and family, My deepest sympathies for the loss of your beloved daughter Michelle. Cherish her memory and take great care of your little grand-daughter Rayne, who I hope is an endless delight, consolation, and continuation of Michelle. I'd like to share with you a wonderful poem that helped me cope with the loss of my father not too long ago. It's too long to recite here, so please look for it on email. I wish you much courage and trust in God. May Michelle's soul be smiling back at all of you from heaven. Sincerely, Renate
