Maria,
You left us way too soon. Your Beautiful Spirit will live on in each and every life you touched. You worked so hard, you are finally getting to rest. You were always so "tough" but we all knew you were softer on the inside than you ever wanted to admit.  You are going to be missed beyond words. We will do our best to make you proud and honor you. We  Love You!
To the Family,
Continued prayers and lots of healing energy being sent your way. My the knowledge of how much Maria was Loved and Respected give you peace. My all of the Beautiful memories you shared with her give you comfort and joy in the months and years to come. You ALWAYS have family who cares for you at Goodwill/AMEDD. Much Love, Coriann

Maria, this hurt, I just can't believe you are no longer with us. I remember planning Rosa's wedding like it was yesterday, I remember every event we worked together at the Black Swann. You were a very strong woman that loved your two daughters, grandkids and family, you were nice to everybody and for that, I know you will have a great place in heaven. Rest In Peace, my friend.

I am still in shock that you are gone, you were a great boss and friend, someone that helped me a lot and believed in me. Thank you for all you did for me, and one day we will meet again. rest in peace Maria, you will be missed

In your hands, O Lord,
 we humbly entrust my Beloved Sister/Childhood friend Maria,
 In this life you embraced her with your tender love;
 deliver her now from every evil
 and bid her eternal rest.
I will miss you Maria, our Facebook chats.

Maria, I still can't believe you are gone :( I just want to say THANK YOU for being you! You were the most honest, unjudgemental person ever and you were REAL with people no matter if the truth hurt sometime you were always 100% real. Thank you for our talks, hugs and advice. You will truly be missed! You will forever have a place in my heart. I will miss you dearly. Till we meet again RIP my Beautiful friend

My family and I would like to offer our condolences to your family. Maria was a very lovely lady. She was my boss at one time and she taught me a lot. I am so glad I had the chance to meet her and work under her wing. Please find comfort in knowing that she is at peace now.

Rosa & family, I am so sorry for your loss.  As I know Maria will be greatly missed by all, I send my condolences and prayers to each of you during this time.  God bless you and your family.

Maria although we have only spoken once in that last few years I alway thought of you and missed the talks we had when we worked together.  You were somebody I could bounce things off of.  We may not have always agreed but I always thought highly of you.  You will be missed.  Your time was to short.  I know you are relaxing on a beach somewhere.  My prayers are with your family.  You blessed all that you came in touch with.  Will miss you friend.

Maria Rivera, good friend to all, dedicated to her family, loved by her nieces and nephews and missed by all who knew her.  Maria had a kind spirit and a warm heart....she will live on in the memories of her beloved children and loving family.  We will all miss you Maria.....
