In Loving Memory

Dear Danny and Nina, Your lovely Maria was such a wonderful young lady. She was such a good friend to Zach. I loved her beautiful spirit and smile. It has been awhile since I last saw Maria, but she always had a hug and a smile for me no matter how long it had been. I know she was a wonderful mother to her boys and I know Zach cherishes her friendship so very much. God Bless you and your family. Gail

Danny, Nina and Neil, I will always remember the sweet little Loren when she first arrived in Salt Lake, the times we spent together, she was like a little sister. The sweet little girl blossomed into a young beautiful lady, a proud and loving mom to her precious sons. We will celebrate her life and keep her always in our hearts. We wish we could be there during this difficult time. We are very sorry.

Dearest Maria, it breaks my heart to hear about the loss of one of my truthful and honest friends. there will be know one that will have the spirit that you had I still remember all the good and bad times we had together. I know you are in a better place all though it is hard to accept the fact that we will never see each other in this life time ever again but deep down inside me I know we will see each other again sometime after. so from the bottom of my heart I ask you be the mother to my daughter that I can not be until I see her again. until we see each other again so long my good friend.

Dearest Danny, Nina & Niel, Although it seems that this is so unfair, I'm sure that God has perfect plans for you, Loren's kids and Loren as well. I will always remember her as a beautiful, angelic and vibrant young girl and she will be remembered in our prayers. The ex-Utahns here at Dallas (Lennie, Wilbert, Wilson, Jaypee) convey our deepest condolences. Hold on to God's words as He says "and He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be any death; there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things have passed away." (Revelation 21:4) God bless always!

I am so sorry. I can not imagine the depth of your loss. Maria was a beautiful, talented young woman full of life and love. Words can not express my sympathy to your family. You are in my heart and in my prayers.

I would like to tell Maria's family how sorry i am about their loss. I taught Maria for several years at West and loved having her in class. It is always fun to teach a student who is excited about learning and knows what they want in life as Maria did. I am thankful I knew her. May God bless you all.

Dear Nina and Danny, It has been a while since I have seen any of you. But I would like to extend my deepest sympathies to you, Maria's lovely boys, Daniel and all of your extended family. People all have their own images of Maria etched into their minds. I will forever see her dancing the swing in dance/PE class with Jack Oles at The Choir School. A beautiful and lasting memory! As a mother, no one ever understands these tragedies. But as a Christian, I know that Maria will dance eternally in each of us, and with the comfort of God our Father. The prayers of the entire McGill family is with all of you! tina
