Maria you were always so patient with all of us at HGO. I remember you fixing the situation a time two, when you werent even in the building. You were helpful and sweet, and had a dry sense of humor. Ill remember that little sigh and chuckle you would give me when there were numerous people on our team needing help. Thank you for being a wonderful and approachable person.

It's going to be so hard to imagine HGO without Maria. Whenever you needed her, she magically would appear. I remember after a long weekend transferring us back into the Wortham a few of us shared some cake together for a coworker's birthday. It was a simple moment to chat and take a break; I hope she knew how much we all loved her and appreciated her.

Wish I could see her one more time so that I can thank her for all of the times that she helped me out. And to tell her how much I admired her laser sharp mind and logical intellect. She was an extremely effective problem solver; one of a kind. Luis Franco

Maria was the most thoughtful, caring and loving person. She would not hesitate to help the ones that needed it. She would always take time to ask me how I am doing and how my family is doing. You will be missed.

I am very lucky to have many memories with Maria. When we walked into work together or left work together, Maria would greet each person she passed by, individually. She made us all feel special to her and she was special to us. I already miss her but I will remember my friend today and always. May God grant you strength and comfort during this time of sorrow.

She was the most helpful co-worker one could ask for. She made time for everyone who asked, even when she was off the clock, and you could always count on her in an emergency. Her work ethic showed her character and was an example to me and many others. May she rest in peace for all eternity - she has earned it!

Maria was one of the most kind, gentle, bright and calm people I have ever worked with. She helped me many times over the years and was always gracious no matter how busy she was.

I miss you Maria Blake and appreciated all of your help in making everything IT work (or work again) at HGO, even when it shouldn't have been able to. Your calm in the face of crazy was always needed, and your laughter and joy when everything was good, was loved. I hope you are mastering the art of French cooking with Julia in the great beyond.

Maria was the perfect co-worker - always kind and willing to help. Although a huge part of her job was dealing with "user error," she always went about it cheerfully and with great professionalism. Her work ethic was second to none. I will miss her tremendously.
