Raised in the neighborhood, i have been going to maria for 40+ years as an adult for my alterations. We would chat, as i was briefly in her hometown while i was in the service in the '80's. What a wonderful woman, and what a loss to us all. I would always try to convince her to travel home, and now, she is there with the Lord. God has blessed all of us that have at least met her. She is now blessed to spend eternity with Him.

"How can you you still be standing Oak?
The Oak Tree replied "I know you can

Was thinking about Maria and the life she lived. Her generous love for you all, her children, and grandchildren later, and extended family was so evident. She was a strong, classy, and beautiful woman, who left her birth country and made a wonderful life here, sharing her passion and talents with others through her opening her shop, and in her incredible hospitality, so generous in the meals she prepared,
a wonderful homemaker, and of course her even extending hospitality at the shop....

What a great lady. Evey time I stopped into the cleaners with my wife Heidi, Maria would ALWAYS insist I have an Expresso and she would go to the bakery next door and get cookies. She found her way to my heart through my stomach :-)
