Dear Aunt Alta and family,
Though I haven't seen you in several years, my thoughts are with you and your kids at this time. I know you feel the loss of Maurice deeply, but the memories will always be there for you. It's sad to see another of Grandma and Grandpa's kids leave, but we trust they are in a better, happier place. May God bless you and your large family. We'll be thinking about you and praying for you.
Love,
Bob, Kelly and Tim Francisco

Grandma,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the entire family as we all miss Grandpa at this time. Grandpa loved you so much, and always talked fondly of you! Some of my memories of Grandpa included grocery shopping and seeing Grandpa talk with the people in front and behind us in line. I loved his friendliness and acceptance of others. He was the most kindest person, full of love for everyone. I also appreciated his optimistic attitude. Grandpa always had a smile, and helped...

Dear Alta & family
I just heard about the passing of Maurice,(1/8/07) & unfortunately the funeral has already happened so I was not able to pay my respects to him at that time.

I first met Maurice about 12 years ago when he called me to do some plumbing & heating work at the Edgemont Apartments. He liked my work & I liked him, & we became good friends.
He was also a good friend to my family & watched my kids grow up, & would always inquire about them.

I was able to get...

Boy do I miss my Grandpa. I miss seeing him at church on Sunday when our meetings overlapped. I miss belly laughs, bear hugs, and him in his blue recliner. The way he said, "Shoooot!" and his sparkling blue eyes. And I did like the cheese he made! He was the kindest, most spiritual giant I know. He loved deeply and gave love freely. He will continue to be a guiding instrument in my life. My prayers are with you Grandma. I know Grandpa would be so proud of you. I love the way he loved you....

Dear DeCow Family,
I have such fond memories of such a sweet man and family. I remember Mr. DeCow as making me feel so welcome and at home. My special thoughts and prayers go out to all of you at this time of loss.

We all had such a good time when we could get away from college and spend a few days at the Henderson home. Debbie was like a sister. Dana and Dixie were always sweet and Darrell kept us all laughing! Mrs. DeCow, most importantly, kept us fed.

My deepest...

To the Family,
Sorry for your loss. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Our thoughts are with your family as we remember Uncle Maurice. May the Lord comfort you. Janet & Terry Yost

Dear Alta and family,

I was very saddened to hear of the death of Maurice. He touched my heart many times in the last 9 years. More recently, he walked down to my house in late September to hand deliver a check for a fundraiser I was working on to provide coats and gloves to school children in need. No matter what charity I was collecting for he was always one of the first to contribute.

That day he also delivered to me an invitation to join the Kawaniis club. It meant a lot...
