On, July 17, 2025 @ 10:39 am, Rosario Mulder, the love of my life went to our Lord and Savior in heaven. She is survived by her loving husband Christopher Mulder; son Dominic; parents, Pileo Manual Sapaico Melendez and Lilian Ester Melendez Scharff, sister Sandra Katiya and brother Martin Manual, and her nieces Valeria and Ariana.

We knew that this time was coming but anticipated a little longer time here on earth with her. I was at the hospital E.R. with a brother in Christ, he is also a doctor working there in E. R. this morning, and what a blessing to have him there. Thanks Dr. O !

Rosario was a mother, a sister, a greeter, a worshipper, and a daughter. She slipped away before our eyes slowly as we watched her vitals decrease and prayers went up. There was no pain, and it was subtle. I prayed for her, I prayed over her, and assured her that our son, Dominic, and I would be just fine and that she could go be with our Father in heaven". I said I loved her 100 times. I praised our Lord as this was happening. I offered her to Jesus if it was her time then so be it. I can't thank my Lord enough for this opportunity to have her as my wife and will cherish it forever.

Psalm 34:18

I am the broken hearted, I am the crushed in spirit but yet I can see that the Lord is still near to me in so many ways.

Truths about Rosario that people have shared are:

"She shines Jesus like no other", "Her radiant joy & deep honest love for Jesus touched everyone", " All Love", "Loved praise music", "her huge contagious smile" "NORTHPOINTE !!!", "CORNERSTONE !!",

...and last but not least:

"Rosario Sapaico Melendez Mulder has loved, supported, and prayed for not only my players, but my coaching staff and me for years now. She is, without a doubt, our biggest supporter. A prayer warrior to say the least, Rosario brings a passion for God and for life that our society greatly lacks. I am continually inspired by her hugs, notes, and "I love you in Christ" reminders before games. The book of James talks about unwavering faith, patience, and love for others. Rosario lives a life that exemplifies these qualities above and beyond." by Coach Easton Levi, NorthPointe Christian School.

My name is Christopher Mulder, loving husband to Rosario Mulder, with a son named Dominic the DOMINATOR. We look forward to being together again in heaven and until then, will never forget Rosario and the impact she had on us and many others.

She was always focusing on others first and always doing projects to encourage others. We lost a good one here, but heaven gained a GIANT.

A celebration of Rosario's life will be held at 5:30 pm on Thursday, July 24, 2025, at Frontline Community Church, 4411 Plainfield Ave. NE, Grand Rapids, MI with visitation prior to the service from 5:00 to 5:30 pm.
