Never knew you very well, but I was always amazed by your smile. Wish I had a chance to see it again.

Wow! 14 years later and I just happened to see Maria's photo on TV this morning. I moved out of Brooklyn 21 years ago. I live now in NJ. I used to ride the bus with Maria. She was so lovely. I remember she had a problem way back with her lower back and I believe she went to my chiropractor in Bay Ridge. I was so upset and sorry to see her photo this morning. I did remember Maria had 2 daughters homed she always spoke about. She was so lovely. My prayers are with you all.

I was looking up information about St. Ephrems church and saw Maria's picture. I always remember her from taking the vans to work in the morning. She was such a beautiful woman and we talked often, especially about weddings and her two daughters. She actually teared up one time talking about them. Her love for her family was heartfelt.  I will never forget her and will always keep her family in my prayers. Rest peacefully Maria.
