Maria R. Greco

To Maria's family.
I just heard about Maria's passing. What a wonderful, kind person she was. We met at Caffe Espresso through friends a few years ago and I felt like I've known her my whole life. She will be truly missed by all who knew her. I will always think of her in her lovely garden and at peace.

I was fortunate to spend time with Maria this summer at her beautiful home and in her garden. Amherst's 50 class reunion bringing us together with other old friends. I so looked forward to seeing her again. What a lovely woman! So sad.

I'll miss Maria more than I want to admit. Whenever I came to Buffalo, she was always my "date" and we shared many wonderful dinners and coffees together. We both agreed that if I lived in Buffalo we would have dated for real, She was a delightful companion and I had hoped that it might someday come to be but now she will live forever in my heart.

My deepest sympathies to Maria's family. I had not seen Maria much over the last few years, but one quite memorable occasion a few years ago was when I took my wife and children to the Amherst Museum where Maria volunteered. We did not expect to see her there and she was so gracious, welcoming and warm, as I always remember her to be. She was so engaging with the kids. She will be deeply missed.

Dear Rae, "Little Maria", "Little Arty", I was shocked to hear of Maria's passing. I just heard the news today. I'm so very, very sorry for your loss. I will always have fond memories of our time spent working together at the Museum and our visits. I will also miss helping her out from time to time.

Will always remember the times we shared as friends and neighbors. Thoughts and prayers go out to Maria's family.

I only had the opportunity to meet Maria once in the Summer of 2015 through an invitation by my Girlfriend Constance at a Family-Gathering, but her charm and Love of Life and great sense of humor will stay in my memory. I hope that the attached words will make my sentiment clear. I even think that SHE will love and second it.

Sincere condolences to Maria's family. Maria was one of the kindest people I have met, always with a smile and positive spin on life. I will miss our many conversations and her warm spirit. RIP Maria.
