Maria E. Kirch

Maria Esther Kirch
December 26th,1972 - March 17, 2010

Maria was born in Mexico City, Mexico to Progreso Lopez Diaz and Lourdes Ramirez-Ascencio. She grew up in Cuernavaca,(Land of Eternal Spring) Mexico with her brothers Angel and Horacio. Maria and Tim met each at Casa Bonita Restaurant in Denver, Colorado in 1996. Maria and Tim married each other at Hosannah Lutheran Church on March 22,1997.
Maria had a love for life, people and travel. Maria and Tim were fortunate to have taken several trips together including 2 trips to Italy. We were fortunate to take 2 family trips together to Cancun and Disneyworld this last year.
On July 27th, 2004 Sophia Valentina Kirch was born and has been a joy to watch grow up. She has so many gifts and qualities that Maria posessed. We are sad to see Maria leave this life as she has touched so many lives in a positive, happy and spiritual way. Just her smile would brighten a room. She was a loving wife, mother, aunt, sister, daughter, cousin, teacher, and friend. She taught me simplicity in life and love for life. It is obvious how many people she touched just with her smile and presence. I thank God for Maria and all that she has brought into this life.
I thank Our Saviour that she is in Heaven now probably traveling with her dad and playing fetch with Max.
We Love you and Miss you Maria. You continue to be with us and as you have said to me. "Honitos, everything is going to be all right!"

I Love you Maria,

Tim
