Dear Auntie,
Coming to grips with your departure is truly challenging. I will deeply miss our monthly chats and the encouragement you always offered. I take comfort in knowing you are in a better place until we reunite once more. 
                                                  Love Tramaine

I am deeply saddened to hear of Maria's passing. She was truly one of a kind – a soul filled with kindness, selflessness, and an unwavering love for those around her. Maria had the rare gift of making everyone feel seen and valued. Her warmth and caring nature radiated from within, and she always knew how to lift others up, no matter the circumstances.

Her inner beauty matched her outward beauty, and her spirit will forever be remembered. Maria’s presence in our lives was a blessing, and she leaves behind a legacy of love, compassion, and grace. My heart goes out to her mother and all who were lucky enough to know her.

Maria, you will be deeply missed. Your kindness will continue to inspire us all. May you rest in peace.

Dear Loved Ones,

Maria was truly a bright light in our lives every single day. She was my go-to colleague, always there whenever I needed support or guidance. One of the kindest souls I’ve ever known, she carried a sweetness and calmness that nothing could shake.

Maria will always be remembered as a pillar of strength—a determined, “get-it-done” woman whose unwavering commitment to her community was an inspiration to us all. She worked tirelessly to make Broward County a better place, and her dedication was felt by everyone who had the privilege of working with her.

Her incredible spirit will live on in the work we continue to do, and in the many lives she touched.

With love and remembrance,
Tanja

As the comet blaze across the evening sky, gone too soon, gone  too  soon, 
My deepest condolences to aunty Patsy and the entire family circle, Maria was a gem with such a beautiful smile, may GOD give you all the strength to go through this difficult time, and may she sleep in peace.

My cousin Maria, you left this earth too soon. I will miss your mild manner and your warm and beautiful smile.  You are no longer in pain and suffering but now resting peacefully in the hands of God. Sleep in peace until we meet again my dear cousin.
Love Michelle

Dear Ms. Adams

I would like to express my sincere condolences for your loss.  Although it has been many years since I have seen Maria, I had the privilege of connecting with her in 2012.  We lost touch again in 2020 as the demands of life often gets in the way.  I am regretful that I did not make time for that trip she invited me on and most regretful as I wasn’t more intentional and persistent in staying in touch, particularly since we were so excited to reconnect,  Maria will always hold a special place in my heart as we both attended Bishops together.  She was my best friend.  As young girls we shared such pivotal moments together all of which helped to shape my life.  As my high school best friend, Maria will always be a part of me.  She was an amazing human being who made every day I spent at school exciting and memorable.  Our chats, laughter, walks, talks, sadness, support for each other will always be remembered.  I often share with my daughter how Maria did the second piercing in my ear in the girls’ bathroom with a piece of ice and my existing earring.  The things we did as kids were innocent and sometimes careless.  But, they bring such joy to us as we reflect.  Maria was smart, witty, loving and charismatic.  Everyone loved her.  In my eyes, she was the most amazing best friend.  One thing that resonates with me is the love she had for you Ms. Adams.  I remembered you dropping her off on mornings and always giving her those loving goodbyes.  As we came closer to concluding high school, my mom became ill and died very early in my life.   But, I always remember Maria saying, if she ever lost you, she would simply die.  Despite the fact we went our separate ways, I know that you had the best daughter one can ever want and I pray that the joy and love that you both shared sustain you until you meet again.  Please know that I will be keeping you in prayer so that God continues to look over you and your son.  Again, I am so very sorry. Regards Michelle Emmons

To Maria’s Mom. 

I did a search for Maria and I got this link. I hope this message reaches you. 
I don’t know you but Maria would always mention you. 
I shared a journey with Maria as one of her ACCA friends in Trinidad. It was Maria, Luenda and I. We were a real support group for each other. 
When Maria completed ACCA , she migrated a short while after  leaving TSTT but we would always touch base once in a while. Notwithstanding the distance and timeline when we caught up it was always a good laugh. 
Since I heard Maria passed I saw my life pass me by and I wondered what Maria would have said if it was me, knowing her , She would have said today I have lost a sincere friend she was genuine and a really good person and that’s  exactly what I feel for her loss 😞.  
She was intelligent, beautiful and she had the most gorgeous smile.  Most of all she had the most beautiful and infectious laugh . ( just  like Julia Robert’s the actress). 

To Maria’s mom I’m sorry for your loss, and thank you for sharing her with us. 

My dear friend Maria you have gone too soon, I will hold on to your  laughter. I will miss our caught up. Thank you for being in my life, thank you for the support and thank you for sharing part of your life journey with us. Rest well Maria. May you rest in peace. 
Bev
