Bruno, Annette, Matthew and Nicolas and all the family,

We remember Maria very fondly. She was a lovely lady and made us feel very welcome. The tribute was absolutely wonderful, and brought me to tears. What a lovely service. Maria would be so proud of you all.

Sending all our love,

Mary-Lou and Peter Wainwright ❤️

We have many happy memories over the years with Dan & Maria. Lots of laughter, dancing, drinking wine and eating!! She was truly a beautiful person inside and out and will be sadly missed. She was like a sister to me.

Wishing that the memories you have will provide some some comfort and peace. God bless.

Dear Dan, Marcel & Family and Bruno &Family,

My sincere and heartfelt condolences on the loss of your wife and mother.

Zia Maria was a lovely and caring person. Her family was always the most important thing to her. She was always there for my mom & dad.

Zia Maria will be missed. May your memories help you through difficult time.

Our heart felt condolences to our nephews Marcello and Bruno and their respective families. We are deeply sadden by the loss of your beautiful beloved mother and our beloved sister Maria.

Maria, it was not so long ago that me, Ida and Luigi came to Canada to visit you, Dan and the whole family. We had some wonderful times together filled with lots of laughter and joy. We will miss you our darling sister and we will miss our regular telephone catch ups. Now God has taken you under his wing and reunited you with our mother and father and our brothers. You will always be in our hearts and we pray that you rest in peace. We send you all our love Assunta and Ida and families. XXX

Sending all our love to you. We are so sadden to hear that our beautiful and gorgeous Zia Maria has passed away. I remember both times that Zia Maria came to visit all the family here in Australia. The laughs and fun times we shared is something we will never forget.

Zia, we will miss your gorgeous smile, your humor and your beautiful nature. We will always have you close in our hearts and will think of you always. Nonna Concetta , Nonno Guido and all your wonderful brothers are now rejoicing as their loving daughter and sister has now joined them in spirit. We love you with all our hearts and we cannot express enough how we will miss your presence. Sending lots of love, hugs and kisses all the way to heaven Zia XXX

I have many fond memories of Maria and know of the friendship and closeness she shared with my husband and in-laws. Maria was a wonderful mother and grandmother, so proud of her family. She will be sorely missed. My sincere condolences to all the family.

Deepest condolences in the passing of your mother. It is a tough thing to lose your mom but hopefully you have great memories of your time with her over the course of your life. I'm sure she cherished you and your families and very much appreciated your being there for her to the end when times may have been the hardest. May she Rest in Peace.

Sincerely

Tony Pasquini & Family

Roy and I were fortunate to have known Maria and had shared supper at her home in Signal Hill with Dan and Marcel and family. She was my hairdresser when I lived in Calgary too where I enjoyed her hearty laughs about Marcel at his unknowing expense. It took many attempts to relay Maria’s passing to my husband Roy though my choking tears, as we are very close to Marcel and know the pain he would be going through with Lorena and the kids. Maria will be remembered as spunky, funny and a real lady (and a great cook)! We will see you again one day Maria. Love to all. We will be watching the funeral via streaming service.
