Brian and Courtney, I can´t begin to tell you how sorry I am for you and Courtney. I am so heartbroken. I met Maria many years ago when she came to me to do her hair , we became fast friends. And went out and hung out a lot. I loved her laugh and sense of humor. I could say anything to her and her to me. She was my confidant and I was hers. She always told me how much she loved you and couldn´t live without you, You were her strength, you loved her unconditional, Stay strong. I will miss Maria every day of my life, that´s how special she was to me. Love to you and Courtney .Cynthia Ramuno

Brian and family- I am so very sorry for your loss. I never met Maria but spoke with her over the phone several times and she was always so pleasant. Brian, there is nothing I wish more than to tell you that your Maria is on the line. Hoping that your memories of Maria help you all during this difficult time. Michelle
