Two choices:
Formal : "Merci beaucoup pour tout. Je ne suis rien sans votre aide. Vous l'avez rendu/rendue tellement facile !"
Informal : "Merci beaucoup pour tout. Je ne suis rien sans ton aide. Tu l'as rendu/rendue (depends on what "it" is, a feminin or masculin thing) tellement facile !"

I agree in substance with the translations Oscar suggested.
However, I'd like to make a few comments about the form:
- "so much" is stronger / deeper than "very much"; therefore, it is usually translated by "merci mille fois";
- In French, we can't say "I am nothing without your help" literally, although we do use a close expression "Je ne suis rien sans toi/vous/elle/lui", to express how much one is in love with somebody and miss him/her so much when away;
- Finally, French people wouldn't say "tu l'as rendu tellement facile", since it sounds so awkward and unnatural.
Therefore, I'd suggest to be slightly less literal and just say it as French people would: "Merci mille fois pour tout. Je n'aurais pas réussi sans votre aide. Vous m'avez vraiment facilité la tâche." (formal) or "Merci infiniment pour tout. Je n'aurais pas réussi sans ton aide. Tu m'as vraiment facilité la tâche."
