Ms. Maria Angelica Alston

Ms. Alston was such a joy to work with! I am saddened by the loss of such a great light. she had such a passion for life and especially for the students here at YE Smith. I hate that I could not attend the service for her but I did watch online. To the family- You all did a great job memorializing Maria. Know that the staff, students and families here ate YE Smith are praying for your comfort and peace during this difficult time. Please remember: John 16:22 - So also you have sorrow now, but I will see you again, and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take your joy from you. Maria brought us all joy and we count it joy to have had the opportunity to know and love her.

With our deepest sympathy. Our prayers are with you in this difficult time. Maria beautiful smile and sweet and kind spirit will be missed.

Ms. Alston you will truly be missed. You were a sweet and funny lady, always making people laugh.
