Maria was a kind and loving wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother and mother-in-law. Her love for her family was unconditional. She will be greatly missed by her family and friends.

The family would like to thank the staff at Sunnybank for the wonderful care and support they gave our Mother throughout her residence.  We wish to say a special thank you to the staff members who cared for her in those last days and for the support they gave the family during the days we were at her bedside.
