Aunty Maria was the kind of person that made you feel loved. I have a lot of childhood memories of my parents sharing plenty of laughs with Aunty Maria and Uncle Joe. Memories of Aunty Maria bring a smile to my face and she will always have a special place in my heart. - Posted by: Trish Wiwsoniski ("niece") on: Apr 17, 2012

Maria was always there when needed. She was a great joy to work with and someone to talk to when my husband died. I will always remember her good food, funny stories and great friendship. Although over the years we didn't see too much of each other, she was a speacial and truly a beautful soul! love Ronnie - Posted by: Veronica (Ronnie) Huff- (co-worker and friend from Merchant's Consolidated days.) on: Apr 16, 2012
