Our mother was an independent humble debout catholic with a heart bigger than herself. She taught herself to speak English and returned to night school to learn how to write resumes. Maria wanted a better life than having to work in the fields. Mama did not have much but she always donated to organization that helped feed those in need. Even in death, she helped save lives by being a donor. We, her children know that mama lived a long beautiful life and was always grateful. She always told us "I love you and God bless you."
