I usually don't like to single anyone out when so many have been involved
with something because I am afraid of leaving someone out.

Maria has been like a member of my family in helping me my wife and daughter
deal with my medical problems. I can honestly say that if it weren't for
her and of course others on the list, my spirits would be a notch lower than
they are today.

Maria has a heart as big as Willamette!
