Maria ,and her beautiful family, have been beloved friends to 3 generations of my family for more than 41 years.  Maria's generosity, hospitality, kindness, and friendship has been a special and much appreciated gift.  Maria is dearly missed by all of us who loved her.

Estrera Family, 

We are very sorry for the loss of Maria. We all loved her very much. Today was a beautiful service and we were so blessed to be able to view it online with you. Words can't comfort you during these times but I just wanted to let you know how much Maria inspired me.  Her smile and generous nature is what I will always remember.  Her phrase, "Good Luck" has always given me good luck and gave me strength when I was a much younger Advisor. If there is anything you may need please don't hesitate to let me know. 

God Bless, 

Ryan Lak



Remembering OUR special Maria.  We know she is YOUR exclusive wife, mother, grandmother and loved one, but she shared good-will with everyone she met.  

A favorite vacation we ever took was with Aaron, Maria, Phillip and Kenneth to Hawaii.  We went to an International Judo tournament in Hilo and then drove completely around the whole Island and hiked where we couldn’t drive.  We were from West Texas and Dallas, so Maria caught us up on island living from cutting a coconut to drink it’s sweet milk, to birds, flowers (especially to be put in your hair), and  pick-nicks from questionable food stands, all the while laughing until it brought tears.  

Our friends and employees who knew Maria were always left with a warm memory.   Yes, OUR Maria will be sorely missed, we are all better humans because she blessed our lives.  

As we reminisce, we can only imagine the smiles on the faces of the angels seated with Maria around the throne above.  

Our heartfelt condolences,
The Arlie Simmons Family & Fresco Construction Crew 


Maria was a special lady.  I never saw her without a smile.  She will be missed.  You will all be in my thoughts and prayers.  Patti Winstanley

There are too many memories to share about this kind, funny and thoughtful woman.  We are saddened to hear of her passing.  We will always remember and cherish her beautiful smile and laugh which I can hear in my head as I type this.  We remember the coins, sweet treats and cards.  We felt close to her even after she moved as we visited and waved when she checked her mail.  We remember her house dresses and her picking up twigs in her yard.  We will never for get her.  May God bless and comfort her family.  Love, John, Margaret, Mike and Nick
