Maria was always smiling and laughing. We shared a love for Ben and Michelle (our daughter) and also shared grandchildren-Alina, Ryan and Benji. I still chuckle when I think about her staying with Michelle and Ben for a few days. Benji was misbehaving as toddlers do and ignoring his mom….Maria said something to him in Spanish (I have no clue what) and he stopped dead in his tracks and looked at her with those big eyes and promptly stopped what he had been doing!!! We will miss her at holidays when we are all together with Ben’s family. Maria we will try to keep Michelle and Ben straight and the grandchildren in line. You were so loved and will be missed.
