Aunt Maria,
I was sad to be told of your passing, but I know you are at peace and without suffering. You were an amazing woman, and I'll never forget how you looked out for me like a second Mother as a youngster after my Mom passed.
To John, Leon, and all your family, please accept my sincere condolences on Mom's passing. She's left an incredible legacy to carry on her wishes.
Rest easy, Aunt Maria... I love you and you will NEVER be forgotten...
