My love and my prayers go out to maria‘s family. and those who loved her. I will always treasure the memories that I had with her. She always made me feel welcome and part of the family. I fortunately was able to visit her a few times while she was in Compass Rose and enjoyed my time with her. . She was always very stylish and took such good care of her herself all the way to the end that she would always comment on how I was dressing when I saw her at compass Rose. She’s in our Jesus arms right now he’s hugging her and holding her tight. . Rest in peace, Maria I will always treasure my memories. Lots of love, Patty
