Dear Helfrich Family, 
There are no words to express how I feel I am deeply sorry for our loss.  I am very glad that I was able to share in just a small portion of Marisa's life.  We know that Marisa is in God's arms but yet we still miss her presence here on Earth.  
"Cast thy cares upon the lord and he will sustain thee he shall never let the righteous fall" Psalm 55:22.

Dear Jay and Kevin:
You are in our thoughts and prayers, sorry for your lost. May God bless you.

Dear Jay and Kevin, I am so sorry for your lost. Marisa was such a loving person and I am greatful for being able to have known her. She was always smiling and so friendly. I also had the joy in working with her and she would always help me when I needed help. She was such a wonderful wife, mother, grandma, mother-in-law and friend. She will greatly be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with the two of you and her family. God Bless.
Love always,
Dawn Downing (Cuevas)

Janet and I are filled with grief over the loss of Marisa.  We know she is surely in heaven as she was such a sweetheart during her days on earth.  She was always the gracious host, especially at the informal spaghetti dinners.  Jay, your days and years spent with Marisa were always the best.
She was such a soft-spoken advocate for all the good things.  Our many, many breakfast's at "Jim's" is something we will hold in our hearts forever. And we always welcomed you into our home for the various parties/dinners.  We will keep Marisa and you in our prayers.

Jay...My wife and I were so sad to hear of Marisa's passing.  She was a very nice lady and great cook.  I still remember those wonderful Italian food treats she would bring to the office.  Please know our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this trying time.  God Bless you and Marisa.

Dear Jay and family,
we are saddened Marisa is no longer here with us.  We will miss her very much.  We will miss that unique friendly smile she had all the time.  Our condolences to you and your family in this difficult time.  We will always keep her in our thoughts right from the very first time we and you all moved to San Antonio in the same block two house apart and all the good times she shared with us in our annual new year get togethers.  God bless you all....

Dear Jay, May your wonderful memories with Marisa help you through this difficult time.  I'm so glad we had the opportunity to get to know her. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Dear Jay and Family.  No words can say how deeply saddened we were by Marisa's passing.  We had so many good days together and we were glad to call her our friend.  We will treasure our memories of her especially as we remember all the good times, lunch, cruising or just sitting around talking about family and friends. Our deepest sympathy, love and prayers of support to comfort all of you at this most difficult time.  Tom and Gianna McEwen
