Maria always brought a smile to my face whenever I saw her. She always stopped by my office at Lowell High School. I was a thoughtful, caring, and smart young lady. She is one of my all-time favourite students I will miss her dearly. Peace be with you, Maria. You will always be in my thoughts and memory.

I am so very sorry for your loss. Maria was a wonderful, sweet young lady. She used to stop into Mr. Selvaggio's room at school and I would come to visit with her. We would have the nicest conversations and would talk about everything Greek. My heart is just full of the best memories of Maria. I will hold onto those always.

Maria was in my physics class last year. She always came with a smile! She would even give me a smile after spending 2-3 hours on a physics exam! What a wonderful young lady. Her parents did a great job raising her and they should be very proud of what she became.
