So sorry to hear about the passing of Maria. My favorite memory is when we all spent July 4th together one year and we were laughing so loud at something funny on tv late at night and Maria came downstairs and said something like “ok turn off the tv it’s time for bed” still laugh about it to this day that we got “in trouble” you will be missed Maria. My condolences to her family.
