We will miss Uncle Maurus with his quick smile and genuine interest in others. So well spoken, he was such an encouraging, positive person. We were so fortunate to have had him in our family and in our lives.

Uncle Maurus was indeed a special person in my life. He was a symbol of a righteousness and integrity to me. He was a person who did the right thing because it was the right thing to do. I am blessed that I was able to see him a few months back at Patricia's funeral. I will remember our hug goodbye forever.

We were sorry to hear of the passing of Maurus. I am the daughter of John Eiberger of Amazonia MO. Our heartfelt prayers are with you. It is so interesting to me how farming, gardening, and church and school responsibilities seem to be a common interest in the Eiberger men.
