Thank you very much Brenda, hopefully we can get everyone to share this and help save this property donated to the people for the people (general public) not ministry members only. Thank you again, please encourage your friends to sign and share.

I believe this property should be kept and used for what Mrs. Whitlock's intended use of it was donated for. It's a simple sign of respect!!! It wasn't meant to be sold to anyone for private ownership & use.

I personally believe Thelma Whitlock's wishes should be honored, this piece of land was willed to the people of Michigan in memory of her husband Dr. Stanley Whitlock, it should remain in the peoples possession. This is a pristine piece of wilderness right within the Sebewaing Village limits at the end of Pine Street.

Will this land be shut off from the public just as the rest of Bayshore property is?

I have personally observed and witnessed individuals' dying wishes ignored. Therefore, I completely empathize and relate to the issues that the estate wishes should be respected.

Who has the right to take donated property and use it for anything other than what it was originally intended for? The residents of Sebewaing should be proud to defend Thelmas wishes and fight to keep this land that was given to them. In this day and age it would be impressive to see business decisions made by using good old fashion morales and values, and not letting financial gains hinder these values. I would like to believe that a womans generous donation would not fall into the hands of greedy land owners or be traded in for someone's business ventures. Let's do the right thing and honor Thelmas desire to keep this land sacred in honor of her husband.

Land can still be used by Bayshore, but can't be used as intended by others if Bayshore closes the land off to the public.

Donated with a purpose is exactly that. For future people enjoying the use of this land to have it taken from them for the use that the person donating the land is acting with poor judgement or taking it in "bad faith".

I would like to see this wonderful piece of nature left they way it is. It was donated to the public as a nature reserve for the people. Please save this property the way it was given.
