God Bless you Maria. You were such a joy to work with at the Y and we were blessed to have you join our childcare team when you did. I have some wonderful memories of our laughs in the kitchen everday. I know how proud you were of your girls and how much they meant to you. May their memories of you warm their hearts and let them hold you close. Rest in Peace my friend. xo, Bonnie

Hi Bonnie,

I’m Debbie Maria’s youngest daughter. I just wanted to say thank you so much for your kind words. My mom talked about yiu a lot and the funny moments you had in the kitchen as well. She loved working at the Y and with all of you. She especially loved cooking for the kids and talked about her days at the Y often. Thanks again. She is very missed and loved!

Our condolences on your mother's passing. I loved it when she would come into the office, her smile was so lovely and her quite demeanor never gave away her mischievous personality.
Thinking of you,
