For some reason I woke up this morning thinking about you. I hardly knew you even a little bit. But you were one of the few people in high school who went out of your way to say hello to me. You had the kindest eyes and I won´t forget them. I hope you found peace.

Your Beloved Maria came to me last night. She said to hug and kiss Michelle. I felt compelled to let you know. I feel she is tending to the souls who passed from COVID. She is peaceful and knows you miss her; she misses you too. I'm so very sorry for your pain and grief. (I know this message seems odd, but this is the only way I can relay this special message.) Michelle, I'm thinking of you at this time.

I miss Maria so much, and I wish I could have had that one last conversation with her. The comfort lies in knowing that we are one year closer to seeing her again one day. Love you Maria.
Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him. According to the Lord's word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. Therefore encourage one another with these words.-1 Thess.4:13-18

Maria, you lived next door to me before you went off to college. I remeber you and chris had made a sledding hill in your backyard and me and frankie would come over and sled on it. countless times i have hopped the fence to get balls that bounced over. i remeber when you used to babysit me and you were such a pushover and always let us get our way and eat as many fudgebars as we wanted. at the wake i saw the pictures you drew and was so jealous. when we were oyunger id be over your hosue and i would see these alien pictures youdraw. i tried to copy them but i am not an atrist. im going to miss you and always think of you when i walk or drive by your house, i got my permit so yes ill be driving. im so glad you though of us and came over a few weeks ago to see our puppy. today i heard that you were one of seven people who made the reseacrh team and you came up with a way to preserve fruit fly food? you inspire me to do well in college. im going for medical too. ill miss you, you are so pretty. love you babes.

Dear Ron, Chris, and Michelle,
Our heart goes out to you for such a tragic loss. Words alone cannot express our sympathy. When we met Maria in California, a few years ago now, we were impressed by how charming and lovely she was. We hope that you can find some peace and comfort in knowing what an amazing person she was. She is alive forever in our hearts....God Bless you!!
Love, Jeff, Cindy, Amy, and Allison Grandilli.....Santa Clarita California

Maggioli family, my sincere condolences.Maria was a beautiful young girl. I remember her playing with my tupperware measuring cups on my kitchen floor before she could walk. I remember getting her bike at a yard sale right around the corner from your house. My thoughts and prayers are with your family. Maria will be missed but the memories will never be forgotten. With sincere Love to you and your family. Friends FOREVER

I had the pleasure of meeting Maria a few years ago at a gathering at my house. We immediately bonded because we're both Italian-American with the same name :) I was living outside of Western NY most of the time I knew her, but we talked a lot online. Even though I didn't know her extremely well, it didn't take long for me to notice that she's a girl who is wise beyond her years, full of extreme talent and light. To the Maggioli family: I send you my condolences. You raised a great daughter, and you are in my thoughts.

I am very saddened to learn of the passing of my young cousin Maria. Death is very cruel but it can neither snatch beautiful memories nor thwart the comfort of those who lean on Christ.
January 24, 2012
Michelle and family,I said a prayer for you today and know God must heard-I felt the answer in my heart although he spoke no word! I didnt ask for wealth or fame (I knew you wouldnt mind) I asked him to send treasures of a far more lasting kind! I asked he be near you at the start of each new day to grant you health and blessings and friends to share your way! I asked for happiness for you in all things great and small.
But it was for his loving care I prayed the most of all! Love Theresa Sigler and family.

I went to edison and hoover with maria and was lucky enough to have been very good friends with her when we were kids. she was always so funny and I have many wonderful memories with her. I had not seen her in a couple of years, then randomly a few weeks ago I ran into her at the library where I work and got to talk with her. she always had a natural effortless beauty inside and out, I'm glad I got to see her one last time.

We are all so saddened to hear of the death of your beloved daughter/sister, Maria. Although we did not know her very well, we have heard plenty of wonderful things about her. I do remember one summer, many years ago, your family came to our house and went swimming. She was so energetic and happy.
May you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends and fond memories of Maria.

Maria was such a beautiful girl-I truly did love her and will continue to think of her often. One summer day she spent time with my family and we had a nest of baby chickadees that had just left their nest and were still unable to fly. I will forever remember the look on her face while she held that tiny little bird in her hand-so beautiful. I'll see her again one day.
