    Dear family of Maria. Our hearts are holding you tight. There is nothing as painful as grieving your child. Our son passed unexpectedly in February and this loss will forever change you. Please let others love you. “Compassionate Friends” is a huge help in this process look them up for some solace. It is for parents ( grandparents)who grieve their child. God bless. We are so sorry for this tragedy.

    I met Maria as a 9th grader and I was the new JV basketball coach, I was then extremely lucky to have her as one of my first captains on varsity. Incredible in so many ways; as a person, student and in her leadership. I am thinking about the family at all times. I am so sorry



  34. Kathleen Heaton on June 7, 2024 at 1:32 pm

    Although I didn’t personally know your family, my grandson graduated with Maria. I can’t even imagine what your family is going through. I heard that Maria was an outstanding young lady and she was at that place to pick up kids as their designated driver. 💕. I know your hearts are broken but I pray that In time, your wonderful memories of times with her will bring you some comfort. 🙏🙏🙏

  45. Maura Spencer on June 8, 2024 at 6:53 pm

    Jen and family, I am incredibly sorry for your loss and the unimaginable pain you are experiencing. This quote by Hans Christian Andersen seems so fitting right now: “Where words fail, music speaks.” I know Maria was a beautiful musician. And music has such a profound ability to conjure up all sorts of emotions. Within seconds of listening to a song, we can feel despairingly sad, pumped up and excited, raging mad, silly, joyful, etc. My hope for you is that you can heal through Maria’s beautiful music, that her voice speaks right to you in the songs she wrote and performed, and that you can allow yourself to feel any and all emotions that come. Because they are all valid and all have a role in the healing process. I pray that her music fills you with peace and comforts you with so many amazing memories. Continued prayers for all who knew and loved Maria and/or any member of her family. ❤️



  46. Lynn Bianchi on June 9, 2024 at 5:14 pm
