    Dear Jose and family..my deepest condolences ! I was out of town and was so sorry to hear of Maria’s passing when I returned… I will always remember her for the kindness she gave to everyone, her smile and, especially as a child growing up, her amazing cooking..she always said I didn’t eat enough and that I was too skinny..wish I had that problem now.. Maria was a very special woman and all that knew her have great memories that will live on in our hearts forever.. From the Burns family (Pfannenschmidt)
