Michelle Lynn Duff 1988-2012

It was 13 years ago today that Bob’s daughter Michelle made a decision that would change his world forever. It is because she ended her own life that Abbreviated Angels Foundation was formed. It gives purpose to his pain, which makes it easier for him to bear. I never got to meet Michelle, but I have been with Bob since a year after her passing. I have watched him struggle each year in July – his sorrow is so evident. Her siblings miss her so much. She has many nieces and nephews that she wasn’t here to share her love of nature with – and maybe even her secret to catching bunnies.

I wish I could have met you, Michelle. From everything your dad told me about you, I believe we would have been friends.
