I went to school with Maria and was touched by her sweet and sunny spirit.  Her passing leaves a definite void, but that emptiness does not in any way detract from the joyful and positive influence she leaves behind.  I am so sad that she is gone, but I will be forever grateful that she was here, even if for a short time, and that I had the privilege of being her friend.  The sorrow I feel at her death is well worth the joy I feel for having known her.  She will always be with us and I firmly believe we will all see her again someday and be able to tell her ourselves how much she means to us.  Until then, I am sure she wants us to remember and cherish the good memories, no matter how bittersweet their taste.

Thinking of all of you at this time.  There is nothing worse than the loss of a child.  Our prayers are with you.  I read recently that the afterlife is really how those we leave behind remember us.  After reading about your Maria, I am sure she will be remembered fondly.  Ron and Trina Grove

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all during this very difficult time.  We did not know your daughter but after reading everything about her we can tell she was a very special person.  Our son Justin is a freshman at UMD and they became good friends very quickly.  Sounds like that is the way it was with Maria.  God Bless you all🙏

Tricia and Dan and Family, Chris and i have been thinking and praying for you ever since we heard, words cant express how sorry we feel for you and your families. We met Maria a few times and we both committed numerous times to each other how awesome she carried herself and treated others. One of my memories is of her speaking at your wedding at Hotel Hershey. We treasure you and your families very much and we are here for you.  Chris Schreder and Mark Rohrer

Maria’s smile and positivity is what will always stay with me. I can picture her in one of her many college sweatshirts interacting with all of her Hempfield soccer teammates. Her positive attitude, hard work, kindness and contagious enthusiasm will forever remain with and guide all of us associated with Hempfield Girls Soccer. God Bless Maria and all her family, friends, and teammates.
