I was tremendously fond of Maria. My Mom (who passed in Jan.) shared the same floor with Maria in the nursing home. I remember Giovanni well, too, her husband. Giovanni and Maria would always reach out to my husband, Vince, and I when we visited my own Mom, and I became very fond of them both. After Giovanni died in 2010, I always sought out Maria (when visiting my Mom) and gave her many hugs and kisses. She would cry often while holding on to me tightly. Her face would broaden with a wonderful smile when she saw me, as she reached out desperately to hold and kiss my hand. I knew she was a wonderful, warm lady and wish I had known her in her "better" days. God Bless you, Maria. I am content for you that you and Giovanni are once again together in His hands. Once again, I Love You !
