Alfaro Family,

I am so sorry for your loss. Although MariaElena and I never worked closely (on same team), she will be missed. MariaElena would always smile & say hello in passing, despite what was going on in our fast paced environment. She would pause to acknowledge others, no matter how her day was going. That says a lot about a person. Her kindness and smile.....I will miss. My heart goes out to you all.

MariaElena, your kindness is what I will miss. Our chats about our daughters and the fact that my daughter had Nacia's hand-me-downs for all the years we worked together will always remain a constant reminder of your generosity and love. I'm glad our paths crossed and I am deeply saddened by your passing and pray for your family. I'll cherish the memories. All who knew you were touched by your beautiful spirit. We'll miss you.

MariaElena, while you are no longer with us, I know that you are watching over us. You were always an angel - and now you will share that with everyone. I am glad that we got to know eachother - and I loved when you called me Mama Low - You made our little "corner" at ATA Reservations great - and all of us will miss you.

Alfaro family,

I am so sorry for your loss. MariaElena made a big impact here at Aon Hewitt. So well regarded by all -- she always had a nice thing to say to everyone, every single day. Candidly, as this tragic news came, I have never seen such a high quantity of grown adults so visibility emotional.

You are all in my thoughts and prayers,

I feel like I lost a sister. I remember when she came home from the hospital. My heart goes out to all of my second family growing up. I probably spent more of my childhood I. Your house than my own. Love to all!
