It was my pleasure to have worked with Ursula for about 28 years. She was a wonderful person who cared deeply for individuals with developmental disabilities. She was a strong and dependable staff person who will be greatly missed in the disability community. Ursula also had many interests outside of work. She loved nature, fitness, alternative healing strategies, nutition, making jewelry, antiques, plants, and art. She was a complex person to know and love. She will be missed by all of us who knew her. I am sorry I could not attend the service, as I am out of state at the moment.

To Ursula's family and friends, please know that you have my deepest sympathy. I have very fond memories of Ursula and enjoyed the times that I spent with her. To honor her, I plan to make a donation to the American Cancer Society in her name. I'm sorry that I can't be there for the memorial service, but I'll say a prayer. I'm truly sorry for your loss.

I am so saddened by your loss. I worked with Ursula at Sheltered Living, Inc. for a total of 16 years and considered her a friend.

I remember once when she and I were at the emergency room with a client, and she burst into tears, seeing her client sick and afraid. Ursula really cared about her clients and was one the most organized, reliable and capable persons I have ever worked with. She never missed a deadline and most often was the very first person to turn in her work. If she said she was going to do something, I knew she would. She was someone we all could count on.

I remember how often she talked about her children and was aware how much she loved them.

Ursula was a caring, loving and highly ethical person--these are the best tributes I could give anyone.

I will truly miss her and am so sorry about your tremendous loss.
