Maria,

You were the light and structure of our lives and it’s hard to see our future without your infinite (everlasting) smile, wisdom, intelligence and memory. You were able to overcome any problem and help us find our path.

Your love to us had no limits, and you were our Queen.

Your sons, Samuel, Daniel, stepson Felipe and husband Hector (“el Flaco” as she dubbed me) will have you in our hearts forever and will see your hand in every corner of our home and soul. Your sons will always remember how you treated them as little ones even if they were already almost adults. 

You made the difference in every place you worked, never being unnoticed, in IBM you were called with every reason, the “machine”. You created wealth, order and discipline in every company you worked for, both in Colombia and Canada. 

You made of Canada your home and fit in your community, bringing together friendships and being loved back. You also made of your friends your extended family, throwing parties and making everyone always feel welcomed. All your friends are heartbroken and are looking after your family in a way for which there are no words to express our appreciation.

You became the best mother to your dogs, Morpheus in particular, and started becoming more and more involved in the care of abandoned animals. That’s how you rescued Ozzy and planned to work full time at the shelter in the future.

You said goodbye prematurely but in peace with everyone and you will be forever in our hearts. Your family, your sisters, Gery and Kathy, your dear friends and puppies.

Family and friends are invited to the Innisfil Funeral Home on Tuesday, January 28, 2024 for a visitation from 3:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m, followed by a funeral service starting at 5:00 p.m. Maria will be laid to rest at the Innisvale Cemetery on Wednesday, January 29, 2025 at 10:30 a.m.
