Maria Romano Graber was the most genuine, funny, generous and wonderful person I have ever met. I am so sad that my husband and I will never be able to go "down the shore in Wildwood" with her again. She is gone way too soon and I cried when I heard of her passing. I loved her like a sister and there is not a day that will go by that we will not think of her ! Love you Maria, I know you are in a beautiful heaven! Love always, Karen and Tony Rubertone
