Not sure what to say?

David and family - Mary was a wonderful gift to us at Rivers High, and i am sure even more so to y'all. I will always remember her kind and energetic spirit which was so contagious. God bless her and keep her. She is once again free to be Mary now.

Sending our deepest condolences and sympathies from Los Angeles. The last time we spoke was probably at Mike and Emily's wedding in 2005 but the memories and infectious energy are remembered so well. Tim, Nanette, Jared and Aaden Fong

So sorry to hear. I had the pleasure of meeting and talking with Maria on several occasions. She was a super nice lady with a wonderful, fun personality that will be greatly missed. My deepest sympathies go out to Mr Bornhorst, Alexis and family. May God comfort you at this time.

Dear Alexis & family, so sorry for your loss. I met Maria who was a wonderful, caring & kind nanny to our nextdoor neighbors, Alex & Megan. My son, Dylan, used to spend a lot of time with them and I always loved talking and laughing with Maria! She was such a vibrant soul! Alexis, it's been years since I've seen you, but am holding you in my heart today! Prayers for you and your family!

Loved our friendship of cheering together for our high school Bears and Charleston Bantams. Even tho we lost contact over the years, she will be remembered lovingly by me from our high school days.
