I also worked at the Meadowlands with Maria. I remembered her kindness with others. And I was happy that she shared her love with the children from the Newark education area. Rest in peace, Maria.

From all accounts you were well liked by everyone. Now the best reward has been received.

I was devastated to hear of Maria's passing. She and I became very fast friends at a Science workshop at NJIT many years ago. Over the years she became part of my family. Over the years our friendship grew and we shared families, happy times, sad times and great losses. She was always there for me and I for her. She had one of the biggest hearts ever. She was always there for her family. Their kids were her kids. I'm going to miss her. Love, Beth

Heartbroken is the only way to describe how I feel. I know I´m not alone. A dedicated teacher, a loyal friend and a devoted sister, aunt, daughter and granddaughter. Always a class act. I cherish the too short time we spent together. My prayers are with your dear family! God bless you all.

Maria was the kind of student every professor prays for. She was smart, receptive and motivated. Maria touched the lives of many young people
through her sensitivity and
teaching style. Maria was a gem.
She will be missed greatly by all
who knew her.

My condolences to your family. I first met Maria at the depot where we would deliver new papers. I would talk to Maria every morning. Over the years we began a friendship and changed my life and others as well. She was a giving person. Opened up her heart because she was just kind of person. If you need anything she was there.
Maria also loved her family. She always spoke about them in our morning conversations. She will be missed. She was my RIDE TO DIE SISTER and we were also known as
ANOTHER SISTER FROM ANOTHER MOTHER. I will continue to talk to Maria in prayer. Yes my friend I will see you again. Rest in peace.
When we sign off on our conversation we would say to one another. Have a great day, talk to you later and love you!
Your best friend Laura!
