Maria was simply a beautiful person, I am so glad i had the pleasure of taking care of Maria for a few years. She not only was my client she was my friend.. introducing me to her family and sharing and creating memories with me. I will miss her sense of humor and her smile. Shopping and conversations a weeking habit for the two of us...Her love for Peter ( her husband) was endless, may she finally be at peace with the love of her life. God Bless family and all who knew her, may peace, love and healing be with you ❤

~Many blessings, Rebecca Snarski

Simply a wonderful wife, wonderful daughter-in law to my Grandmother and Grandfather, a wonderful Aunt to all my cousins and myself, just a beautiful lady. Now she is at peaceful rest.

The Bible has a wonderful hope for those who have passed away. Jesus Christ said these words in the Gospel account of John 5:28,29

"Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life."

For Aunt Maria great days ahead. - Nephew Chris

May her memory be eternal!

My husband and I met Maria several years ago when we first started attending services at Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church. She was always so nice and welcoming! Though we did not know her well, we mourn her passing. Our condolences to her family.
