Nothing can replace the friendship that both my Dad & I had with Maria., I was a client of hers as well & I used to take my grandsons Luke & Paul for haircuts when Maria had her shop. Lord Jesus, our hearts are broken but her beautiful spirit continues on. She is truly missed. Father God place your loving & comforting arms around her precious children, grandchildren & great grandchildren & the many, many friends during this time of grief & mourning.

You have my sincere sympathy. -Mileva Stemple (Mini)
