Ms. Frabutt was by far my most favorite teacher. She was kind, caring, loving, understanding, attentive, and a truly amazing woman. She even came to my Mothers funeral in 1990, the only teacher with that big of a heart that could care so much about all her students crazy or not.   I will truly with my whole heart never forget her. RIH Ms. Frabutt I just wished I would’ve found you before you passed. You were more than a teacher you were a blessing to all and touched so many hearts. Hugs and blessings to your family. 

Oh,   My dear, dear friend, how sorry I am to read this notice. I felt in my heart that something wasn't right, when Christmas came without your card, and then no phone call asking, "Where have you been?"
Well, you're the one who has gone first, and a light has gone out of my life. We lived, and loved, laughed,  cried, ... and so much more!  The memories I cherish of you are too many to count. 
Alyssa and Anthony, you have my deepest sympathy: know that few beings love with the passion your mom loved you. 
And I have so many great memories of our times together-- all the way back to Eastern Michigan University!
May the knowledge that Maria will be loved and remembered comfort you and give you peace.

Gone, but never forgotten.  Rest in peace.

Maria was my dear and loving friend of many, many years. We shared a back hallway at Stottlemyer School way back when. I will remember her fondly with a smile and a place in my heart.

I am very sorry for your loss. She was a genuinely kind and caring woman. She will be missed.

Dear Alyssa and Anthony and family and Jerry, too:
Maria was a beautiful lady inside and out.  She gave strength and light to my hope when I needed it and you all befriended me when I was down. She loved unconditionally.  I pray for strength and peace for you all.....I know this is a great loss and you will miss her terribly; but I also know that she is at peace for she raised a beautiful family and she knows you will be all right.  May her memory always keep your hearts warm and someday, in the not too distant future, when the pain eases, you will smile again, and often.  With love and hugs from Shawn Evans, Scott Evans and me, Pearl Melchor

Maria was a joy to know.  She was a stalwart friend, a fiercely devoted mother and grandmother, and a truly creative sentimentalist.  Our memories of her are all in vivid color.  That she was with her family up to the end meant everything to her, as all who knew her can attest.  Please accept our condolences.
--Mike and Judy Steinhagen

So so sorry for your loss.  Remembering so many fun and beautiful memories with Maria and Alyssa.  Our times of just hanging out, laughing and spending great times together.  Sending big hugs and prayers your way!

 Maria was a great lady , good friend and a wonderful Mom and a very special Grandmother. She loved her family unconditionally. I always enjoyed sharing our Grandchildren, she was so much fun, With great respect we will sadly say goodbye. One day we will see her riding her bike with a basket and big seat with the same energy she always had

" So Sorry for your loss. Please remember that the GOD of all comfort is always  with you PSALMS 29:11

Lasting memories that fill my heart and enhance my life with my beautiful, spunky love filled Aunt: taco nights, family charades, roses for every occasion, monogrammed gifts, shopping extravaganzas, late night sleep overs, laughter, hugs and selfless love. I can't hep but smile at thoughts of her. Zest for life and say it how it is. True definition of an aunt. My love for you will grow in my heart forever!

I knew Maria since I was 4 years old.  I loved her dearly, she was my friend.  They don't make them like her anymore.
To her family my heart goes out to you, I know you loved her too and will sadly miss her.
My life was better because she was in it.
Patsy
