Past Comments

Maria

I remember a strong and fearless woman who taught me how to cook and taught me how to be a mother, in addition to a new mother tongue. Thank you Clemy as those are not things just anyone can bestow. <3 I also remember a woman who loved and care for my children almost as much as a mother. Recuerdo a una mujer fuerte y valiente que me enseñó a cocinar y me enseñó a ser madre, además de una nueva lengua materna. Gracias Clemy ya que esas no son cosas que cualquiera pueda otorgar. <3 También recuerdo a una mujer que amaba y cuidaba a mis hijos casi tanto como a una madre. Que Diosito le guarde en el cielo y este con nosotros en nuestros corazones.

I am just saddened to hear of Marias passing, I just found out. Mickey & Luiz..my heart goes out to you. Maria was a wonderful kind sweet woman she always had a smile and a cheerful greeting…. and the food she cooked…yum
I always teased her and said I’m coming for dinner…
Rest in peace Maria I know you’re in heaven with the angels because you were an angel here on Earth.
My sincerest and deepest sympathies to the family.
