Rose & Tina- I met your Mom when we all lived in Cambria. Tina you and my daughter Marlisa played together when you were young. Maria was always a sweet friend who I would run into on a regular basis no matter where either of us lived. We always caught up on our lives and our kids lives. I will miss that chance now but will hold on to what we had.
Blessings and comfort to you in this loss.

I am so grateful for the time we spent together the day before you passed. We had so much fun talking about cameos(your prized possessions) Your excitement was contagious and the smile is still on my face. Who knew you had all of that knowledge of antique jewelry tucked away in that beautiful mind? When I was at my lowest you were there to be outraged on my behalf. I will never forget that and at that moment I felt truly loved. Thank you for these things Maria. I miss you. We can continue our conversation on the other side.

Oh Maria I still can not believe that you are gone. You left us far before your time. You are greatly missed and loved. You impacted so many and touched the lives of those who were fortunate enough to have known you. Your happiness, kindhearted ness, and bubbly sense of humor was addictive and would make even the toughest souls crack a smile. You were and forever will be one in a million Maria. I love you and miss you and find comfort in the thought that your still with us in spirit.

I remember getting to know Maria, and I was never disappointed by her kindness and warm hearted spirit. As a friend and a caregiver for others, she had a genuineness about her that was uplifting and inspiring. We all love and miss you.

My Maria! I never thought this would happen. I am so grateful for the time we had and that I was a friend. We were good at getting in trouble and having so much fun doing it. You were special to all of us. You will be forever missed.

Maria, the short time I had to spend with you and get to know you could have been a life time! Your soul was so kind , your light shined so bright I'm sure the universe could see your glow! The heavens have gained a beautiful Angel,I pray that the girls feel your presence always and God eases the pain of losing you , way too soon! Rest in eternal peace Maria, surely there is no one and never will be anyone like you in this world again! ! God bless you and your family!

Mom, I miss you and love you so much! I'm so very grateful for all of the talks we had about your mortality, its been a lot of help to me in dealing with your passing. Ava picks up the phone and says she's talking to you, I tend to believe her. You were much too young to go, but you definitely made the world a brighter place, you were always looking to help others, always had nice things to say about people and truly loved to make others happy. There aren't many people like you in the world. I love you Mom and I know you're still with us.
