Very sorry to hear of the passing of an old friend from my high school days. We had lots of fun learning how to dance in the living room on Webster St. so many years ago. My condolences to her immediate family, RuthAnne, and Karen. Maria was so much fun to be with and was incredibly generous and kind. She will be missed.

I worked with Maria a long time ago in the mid 60's at the coat factory. It saddens me to hear of her passing.

I can't believe how much I miss you, I never thought this would hurt so much. I am so glad that you are not in anymore pain. I hope that you and Aunt Carol are together that's where you wanted to be. Living in this life is going to be difficult without my mom so many times you have talked to me when things were going wrong! I remember when the boys were little we would take turns feeding them and if it was late at night you would talk to me to keep me awake tell me crazy Stories about when Ricky and I.were little. Looking through all your photo albums was the hardest thing I've ever done knowing that I could never ask you any questions about them. You are and always be the specialist person I have. I will live with you in my heart forever and I hope that you're happy. This happened to soon and I wasn't ready. I hope that you're looking down and keeping watch over us.I will love you forever.
