I have had the pleasure of getting to know Maria for the last four years. I was her caregiver, but she treated me as her own. When I first met her I thought there was no way I could care for someone with so much attitude, she told me when I walked in her house for the first time that I could turn right around and leave. Maria and I quickly became friends.. family. She had the kind of heart that could look right through you. As well as the kind that would do anything for you. Even on her worst days, she was always sure to ask me if I was okay. There was never a day that passed that we didn’t share a laugh. I hope you’re laughing. I’m going to miss you so much Maria. Thank you for the honor of knowing you. You will live in my heart forever. P.S. Love you more.
