I was there When you came into the world, and I was there when you left. I've too many memories to choose just one, so best just to say I loved you and I will sorely miss you. Goodnight and God Bless my little sister.x

Dear Maria,
I will always remember you as someone who was there when it truly mattered—genuine, warm, and always listening with such care and empathy. I still think of our last conversation in May 2024, when I shared my excitement see my Mother and celebrating my her 70th birthday. You were so happy for me, and it was clear how much you missed your own mother during that chat. Now, I send that happiness back to you, knowing you're reunited with her. Your rare and beautiful spirit will be deeply missed, and we’ll be thinking of you—especially when Strictly Come Dancing comes on. From Alex Mel & Josh XXXXXX

My beautiful friend Maria❤️
Boy did we laugh all day at work together and take the Micky out of everyone to get us through.
You were such a special person who helped me and the girls through my tough times never judged me (well maybe sometimes🤣) but that was you said it how it was ! Everyone loved you for that ❤️ been a few years but never been far from my thoughts 💕
A gap in this life can never be filled but you and mum up there will cause a riot girl ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Terry and Bernie sorry to joke but that’s how Maria always made people feel and surrounded everyone with laughter ❤️fly high beautiful xxx

Such a beautiful soul and was like a second mother to me when I first arrived in the country. Bernadette, thank you for sharing your beautiful family and I pray you all find some sort of peace in the grief. Mom and I send our deepest condolences and love to you and the rest of the family.
