I am very sad to hear that your Mother passed away. She was always sweet and helpful at El Parador with all the dinners there. Always willing to help when she could. She enjoyed shopping at the Discovery Shops with her friends and going to casinos when she could. She was a pleasure to know and will be truly missed. She liked to joke around and had a great sense of humor. You are all in my prayers, know that she loved you very much, her daughters is all she ever talked about.

Maria was a dear, caring person. I worked with her for many years at Mission City Social Services. She was always cheerful and reached out to her fellow coworkers. I am so sorry I missed the service. God bless you Maria, you will be missed.

I am so sorry I missed Maria's services. I worked with her for many, many years. She was always generous and kind to everyone. She was loyal and fun. She did an excellent job of getting along with everyone and helping out whereever she could. I will truly miss meeting her for lunch.
Your daughters love & miss you deeply! There will always be an empty space in our hearts, but we will fill it with beautiful memories of you!
