My deepest sympathy to the family and love ones of Maria. You are truly a wonderful person to work with. I am glad to know you as a friend. God Bless
She shouldn’t have been taken by cancer, she should have had a chance to dance and be hospitable. As she has always been the scene of the party.
I wish this difficult time to her partner and her kids a strong partnership and hope this hard time brings time to celebrate her wins.
