the road for many other generations to come.

As she knew this life would not be easy, she kept living a happy life along with her family. As she battled Diabetes at the age of 13 years old, she has gone through numerous surgeries, including 3 kidney transplants and 1 pancreas transplant. She had two children that she loved very much, Jose Maria Godinez and Miguel Angel Godinez. Despite feeling sick most days, Maria would make sure her family was happy.

Whether it was helping getting a party going to helping with medical decisions, she was there.

She was available whether or not she was admitted to a hospital. She was adored by everyone

she came in touch with. Maria was a strong and courageous person with a beautiful personality.

Our lord Jesus Christ has gained an angel to continue to look after everyone she loved.

Rest in peace Maria.
