Maria was such a loving, caring and dear neighbor that we got to see grow up through the years on Highland Way. I remember particularly the one Christmas when all our children were young and a neighbor had Santa at their house and can see Maria seating on his lap.

Maria lived across our culd-e-sac and grew up with our son John. Always remember the time our Neighbor and Santa come to their house and Maria and our youngest son, Patrick, had their pic taken. Maria dealt with a lot of challenges dealing with Juvenile Diabetes but what an inspiration to all us being able to bounce back each time something else. May you now be in peace and not having to suffer anymore.
