dear Maria, It will be one year since you left us for that special place in heaven...I think about you everyday and miss you....Someday we will be together again....Love your cousin, Mary Ann

Mom,
without you there would be no me. 
Your love, attention and your
guidance have made me who I am. 
Without you, I'd be lost, wandering
...aimlessly, without direction or purpose. 
You showed me the way to
serve, to accomplish, to persevere.
Without you, there would be an
empty space I could never fill, no matter how I tried. Instead, because of you, I have joy, contentment, satisfaction and peace.
Thank you mom, I have always loved you and always will. 

 <3 you, Miss you....

Our deepest sympathy to you and all your family.  The service in Milwaukee was very nice.  She will be missed.

Love,  Wally & Pat Miller

This is an Eternity Candle. Maria will be with us always! I am so proud to have been in her circle of friends. Too many fond memories to elaborate on. They will be kept close to my heart. Maria, you are greatly missed!

Our thoughts and prayers are with you Eddie.  Tom & Diane (Manning) Matuszak Ooltewah, Tn

To the family of my best friend, Maria. Every thought of her is with that sweet smile on her face. Working with her is a cherished memory of our traveling together taking school pictures. She was my confidante. Our families had so much fun together, so many good laughs. I feel honored that our Lord chose to bring her to Him on my birthday. Al and I are grateful that He allowed us to spend 3 quality days with them in AZ in April. Our love and prayers to all of you, you are very special to us. Let's stay close.
