You don,t know me, but my son was a witness to Michelles' accident and death. He stayed at the scene and gave all information necessary to the authorites as well as going with them down to give statements.
I know I am the only person that my son told about what he did for Michelle, which was to say a very lengthy and private prayer to God for Michelle's safe passage to Heaven. He had the strength of mind to do this within moments.
Your family is in our hearts and prayers, as we have suffered the same tragic loss, although 25 years ago. I personally know exactly how Michelles' siblings are feeling, and know the grief suffered by the parents is beyond comprehension.
I hope you find this quote helpfull, it has given me comfort over the years although I don't know who wrote it.
"If the dead can come back to this earth, and flit unseen around those they love, then know that she will be with you through the brightest of days, and the darkest of nights, always."
