Miss Maria,
Rest In heavenly sweet peace.
It’s with a heavy heart we say goodbye to you. We sure will miss you. 🥰 I will always remember the love, and kindness you showed my mother Linda Pryor. Neighbors for over 40 years and true friends from day one. Just want you to know you’re loved. Give my mom a hug and remember you were loved. 🥰
My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. May the Lord give you comfort and peace as only HE can do that adequately during this time…Amen.
Rest in eternal peace, Mama Garza. Have known you since 1978 when I first met Linda and became best friends. Always remember you making us a snack of some Mexican fare after school. My mom and you also became great friends at that time. You were a sweet lady and a wonderful mother, grandmother, and great grandmother. You will be sorely missed 💔 ~ Gina and Sylvia DiLuzio
What a beautiful legacy you have left your family. A life well lived, full of memories of raising children, always giving of yourself. Heaven is blessed to have you as you begin your new adventure. Rest in peace María.
Mama G – I am beyond heartbroken 💔 to hear you are no longer with us. You welcomed me in your home and provided me with a place that was safe, warm, and loving. I will never be able to repay you for your unselfish love, hours of fun, uplifting conversations, and your outstanding food. I have wonderful memories sitting at your counter watching your TV awaiting the delicious food that you prepared for me. All my love and I only pray 🙏 we will meet again in heaven to laugh and share more memories.
Thank you Mark for those kind words! She loved you like a son. I can’t tell you how many times I heard her say, “Marky was always so nice to me!”
