    Maria mote was a great friend to me. Every Thanksgiving since 1995 she would make me a pecan pie and she would make me another pecan pie for Christmas. Between Thanksgiving and New Year she would make me a ham sandwich to take with me to work and she always made sure that she has a big red soda for me.
    I’ll miss her a lot there is an empty feeling in my heart. Maria may you rest in peace in the comfort of our Lord. You will not be forgotten my friend and I’ll see you down the road Maria. Peace in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ Amen 🙏🙏❤
