Marusita: Ha pasado un año que no estas fisicamente con nosotros y te extrañamos mucho. Para mi fuiste tantas cosas en esta vida: Hermana, Comadre, Amiga, Socia, Vecina, Consejera y en todo fuiste lo máximo. Tambien fuiste ejemplo de ternura, fortaleza, inteligencia, vitalidad, prudencia y una alegria radiante, recuerdos todos que siempre llevare en mi corazón. Con todo mi amor: Jose Antonio

Maria is my idea of Grace. She was a master teacher of young children, an outstanding Spanish language teacher to young children and my complete picture of a real princess. I love her dearly. Patty

Maria is an inspiration to the faculty, staff and students of North Shore Country Day. She fought her cancer with courage, determination and humor. We learned so much from her not only as a teacher, but from the courageous and gracious way she fought and died. The world is a dimmer place without her brightness. Tana Hitch
