I was so lucky to have met Maralee. She was a beautiful soul and full of life. When I first met her; I was just so amazed of how much energy she had! She was so lovely to me and I´m forever grateful for the paintings that she gave me before she moved to Pompano. I will forever cherish them and her memory.
