Sad to hear of your loss. I have fond memories of Maria when she drove us kids Saturdays to Woodland Roller Skating. She always made me feel special.
After a long battle we hope that both Marie and her family find peace.
Thoughts and lots of prayers to you all.
My thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.
