It was a joy to work on projects with Maria and go to lunch with her occasionally when I worked at American Pioneer/Ticor Title. Even on the phone, I could hear her smile. Her laugh was infectious! She was a beautiful soul.
My deepest sympathy to her son and all her family.

My sister was the one to whom I looked up to the most. It's funny because we made a scrapbook of Maria's life on CD and the pictures of her and I, I am always looking up to her or immitating her. She was one of my best friends, my wonderful sister, teacher and I miss her very much. Maria spoke to me @ almost 1am on the morning of which she would pass, she urged me to say everything I needed to before she left this earth, because she knew as a sister that If I didn't get it off my chest I would regret it, she loved me enough to talk to me with her soul! If that isn't love I dont know what is! On the drive home from Massachusetts we were going through the hills of PA and the sky was amazing, and I felt her talking to my soul again, she was telling me how marvelous & beautiful it is, she wanted to let me know that she was happy and could only feel love & beauty. My sister loved me soooooo much & I am lucky to have felt that love & I love her so much too, man do I miss her.

Maria was a wonderful person who will be missed by all who knew her. We were good friends in high school and even though we lost touch over the years, seeing her at the reunion brought back so many good memories. I can still hear her laugh. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family.

I cannot express how much pain we were in to hear of Maria's passing. Maria opened up her heart and just swallowed us up with her smile and friendship. Because of that, my family fell in love with her. I know that we will miss her very much but we also know that she is finally at peace. The Vazquez Family in Orlando will never forget you Maria. And Evan your Godfather and Titi Millie will visit you soon, promise!

I am extremely saddened by the passing of Maria. She and I were the best of friends during school. We lost touch over the years but got to spend some time together at our last reunion. She was a wonderful and caring person who will be missed by all.
