Dear Michelle,
I just wanted to take a moment to sincerely thank you for everything you’ve done for me throughout this process. Your expertise, guidance, and steady support made an overwhelming situation manageable, and I will always be grateful for that.
Beyond your professionalism, your kindness and understanding made such a difference. You took the time to listen, to reassure me, and even share a few laughs along the way, something I truly didn't expect but appreciated more than you know. Those lighter moments helped make an arduous journey a little easier to bear.
I feel incredibly fortunate to have had you by my side, and I will never forget how you helped me move forward. Thank you again for everything.
Wishing you all the best,
B
