Sending sincere condolences to Maria's family. I have fond memories of her at Whirlpool. We shared many lunches together. She was so sweet and was admired by her friends and co-workers.
With deepest sympathy,

Brother Bob: How sad I was to hear that you lost your life's mate; yet I realize that it must be bitter sweet. My deep sympathy to you and yours. Bill and I were together for 52 years so I know the ache in your heart is deep. I will always remember Maria's beauty -inside and out. Sweet, smart, compassionate, thoughtful, caring and oh, what a great administrative mind. Whirlpool benefited from her talent in so many ways! The Pilgrim Family was blessed by her presence and participation. How dearly she is missed.
May the Lord Jesus whom we worship bless you with His Presence and may His Holy Spirit comfort and sustain you in the life adjustments that come with great change.
Claudia and I are neighbors in The Villas in Benton Harbor. We both miss the unity of family we once owned at Pilgrim and hold dear those memories.
Please continue to sing His Praises in your head, heart and with your voice. He has blessed you with such a marvelous voice.

I have recently remarried and am living in The Villas in Benton Harbor.
I pray that the Lord Jesus whom you and I love and worship will be very near you in the next year and may His Holy Spirit comfort your heart and mind. Praise be to our Heavenly Father who has given us a New Birth into a Living Hope. This Living Hope in our Resurrection and eternal life with Christ Jesus and our loved ones carries us through our grieving.
May you ever continue to praise our Lord in song both in your heart and with that marvelous voice you've been given. You and the true Pilgrim Family are ever in my heart. Claudia and I are now neighbors. Love, Ann Wilkinson Hunnell

I have fond memories of spending time at Grand Mere beach with the Melcher family. Maria reminded me so much of my mom - Lupe Hopp - which I appreciated, as it's not often you run into many St. Joe residents from Mexico :-) I imagine the two of them reuniting in heaven and just having a ball! Sending prayers of peace to your family during this difficult time, Emily (Hopp) Gibiec
