Maria was diagnosed with Cancer Tuesday March 2, 2019. She was a strong woman, who loved her family, chocolate, Starbucks and those early morning phone calls with her B.F.F. (as they say, big.fat.friend) Rosie. She loved drinking her morning coffee and watering her rose bushes. She fought thru radiation and still kept those around her on their toes. She always said what was on her mind and held nothing back. She lost her battle with cancer after 7 short weeks, on Tuesday April 23, 2019.
