Hey Jenny, Junior and the entire Aldama family, I am so sorry for your loss, I just spoke to Jenny a week or two ago, but when something like this happens, you don't remember who was there?? your in a daze, I have the telephone number to the house on Bunker Hill 8850632 tried calling, using the prefix's that are used now in Berdoo, 909, 714,  951 and I kept getting the operator telling me the call did not go through!! I even have pictures of Maria dancing with my partner Jeff when I was still living there, in Okie Ville next door to my mom :( I want to see you both, when you feel you are ready?? we have so much history with each other, that lot's of times, we take that for granted!! Time is flying by, and we need to be around people we know, that care and understand!! God Bless you........................Steven Alvarez

Beautiful pic of my siblings celebrating Jared’s Bday at Big Al’s. I miss my sisters 🩷

The sweetest soul, our Aya. I’m not sure how I found the strength to write this, or how I’m even supposed to believe you aren’t here. We miss you so much, all of us do.

As I read through these memories, the same things appear again and again: your kindness, the way you loved so big, your perfect smile, your laughter, and the deep love you had for your family. Every single word is true.

Aya, your patience, kindness, and love were always so gentle and endless. You never told us no, always willing to do whatever we asked, always with an open heart.

Life will never be the same. And though my heart is broken, I find comfort knowing your love will always surround me. Thank you for being our Aya! Love you endlessly! 🤍

2004 on the Big Island of Hawaii! Cousin Sharon, my sister Maria, and I on vacation. Gr8 time! 🤙🏼

Thank you for always opening up your home & being such a kind gentle soul. I remember holidays at your house, walking Valley College track with you and Jenny, just so many happy memories with you. 

Love and miss you, rest in peace Aya.

Having visited Maria the last week of her life I realized how infectious her love was. I noticed all the pillows the Luna family made for her, the pictures & memories in the home she had taking me back to my own childhood. Always looked forward to the Dodger games my sister Rachel organized cause I knew I’d see Maria, Jenny & Jr. Our trip to Yosemite with Maria, Jenny & Jr, Maria you were loved & will always be loved!

The Maria I remember was laughter. She made me laugh like no one could. Once we were watching the Beverly Hillbillies and she kept making fun of Granny. Anytime I see that show I think of Maria. Maria was thoughtful I never saw her argue with anybody. What I wouldn’t give to sit in the Aldama’s kitchen with Phyllis, Jenny, Maria, Patty, David, Judy…the gang.  A prayer 🙏 and a candle 🕯️ for Maria and Phyllis. Love 💕 always, Eddie

Maria, a kind, gentle, and humble soul who gave so much to family and friends without demanding anything in return. Thank you for your kindness to my family throughout the years.
 May you rest in the Lord’s peace and love, and may your memory be a blessing to those who knew and loved you.

I had the great pleasure of meeting Maria through her sister Jenny  my friend and prayer partner.  Maria's contagious smile and warm spirit is what I  will always remember. She will truly be missed, and now she has now earned her wings in heaven.🙏🏿💗

She was the nicest person I’ve ever met. She will be missed.

Maria was such a gentle soul.  She was always so kind.  I am grateful of how she helped my mom, her cousin, and my sister Pispi when she broke her leg.  I have my memories of Maria throughout my childhood.  I was heartbroken when I heard of her passing and I am so glad that I was able to visit her.  She is at rest now and is with her parents and sisters. We now have another family angel watching over us.

A true angel for the ages who is now among them herself.

I am truly honored and privileged to have dearest Maria as my friend for over 2 decades when I learned so much from her beautiful spirit whether it was while celebrating her birthday annually, or sitting at the Lake with the ducks and stars above after exercising that she said relaxed her, or picking her favorite oranges in the orchards, or just plain enjoying life. I see her now in everything, everywhere thus keeping her memory alive for the ages, especially in her “Luna”, the moon that she loved looking up at with such joy that it made it all so worthwhile, She is and has been an honorary member of my whole family who, along with me, are devastated by her sudden loss. I always called her Santa (as in Saint) Maria and also because she is a gift, and she would give me her Maria look; a true angel who brought laughter, light, and love with her, till now,  she has become one herself.

Maria it was a pleasure to have met you. Thank you for allowing Richard and I to pray with you. We will see you again when we are reunited in God's Kingdom.

Maria is my cousin and dear friend,for many years we spent a great deal of time together.Going to movies,playing racquetball at San Bernardino Valley College, eating out, going on long bike rides to nearby Redlands and just spending time being with one another.Those years I will always cherish and I will miss Maria very much.I especially loved her laughter when she would be happy about something funny or surprised. Rest in Paradise Maria,give my parents a hug for me, I love you and will miss you very much til we see each other again.

Maria always attended my birthday party’s and always sat with my dad, which he always looked forward to. Maria we will miss you but we know you are in a better place. You will always live in our memories. Till we see you again. We love you

Aya, I love you so much and miss you so much. I know you are in a better place now but we do deeply miss you . I remember going to your house and spending time with you we used to go for walks, going to breakfast at Alice’s, . I wish you were still with us . You left us to early I’m so heartbroken. You were so patient and had a big heart the biggest heart. Give aunt phyllis and aunt terry and grandpa a hug for me and grandma. Also if you see my oso please give him love for me I love you

I will forever miss you. I loved having you around. We always enjoyed our time with you  whether it be playing games,  getting something to eat, or just hanging out! Your presence was so calming and you were always so easy to please. What ever our plan, you went right along. Your nieces and nephews love you  so much and are so heartbroken as Junior and I and so many others are. Losing you is a huge loss for us. I’m so grateful to spend the last two weeks of your life with you to care for you, pray for/with you and just be next to you.  I thank God for giving me a sister as sweet, humble, loving  and caring as you… I will  never, ever forget all you’ve done for me and how much you loved us all.  I love you so very much and I  will cherish all the memories we had together.  Give Mama, Daddy,  Phyllis and Teri a big kiss and hug for me, I miss them dearly.  Rest easy Maria,  you so deserve it.  God Bless your gentle soul. 
Your sister, Jenny

Aya, as I always referred to as, welcomed me as one of your own nieces, always welcoming. Maria is such a beautiful soul and so loving.  Aya made her mark in my life, memories and my heart and will be missed terribly.

I miss you so much Aya. Thank you for being such a wonderful aunt to all of us! Rest easy and give my mom the biggest hug! Love you always!
