Our family wants to send our deepest condolences for all your family at this time. Myself, I have very fond memories of Aunt Maria. She always was very hospitable and loved to feed everyone with her homemade cooking. I literally knew her my entire life growing up. When my Mom and Dad first got married, her and Uncle Mike were their landlords. They lived downstairs and we lived upstairs I believe in Bloomfield at the time. My parents used to go downstairs and play Pinochle card games together. Although we were not related by blood, I always considered her an Aunt to me. She was my Godmother and the Matron of Honor in my wedding almost 38 years ago. You will be forever missed my dearest Aunt Maria. Love always to you all.
