David and family - Mary was a wonderful gift to us at Rivers High, and i am sure even more so to y'all. I will always remember her kind and energetic spirit which was so contagious. God bless her and keep her. She is once again free to be Mary now.

Sending our deepest condolences and sympathies from Los Angeles. The last time we spoke was probably at Mike and Emily's wedding in 2005 but the memories and infectious energy are remembered so well. Tim, Nanette, Jared and Aaden Fong

Dear Alexis & family, so sorry for your loss. I met Maria who was a wonderful, caring & kind nanny to our nextdoor neighbors, Alex & Megan. My son, Dylan, used to spend a lot of time with them and I always loved talking and laughing with Maria! She was such a vibrant soul! Alexis, it's been years since I've seen you, but am holding you in my heart today! Prayers for you and your family!

Belly dancing and Marilyn Monroe will always remind me of Maria and her infectious smile/enthusiasm and bring a smile to my face. May your own memories help guide you all through the difficult times ahead. She was so very special. With our deepest condolences, Jenny, Kevin and Alyssa (aka Barnetta)
