Dear Maria my heart is broken. You were the best person , kind , considerate, brave and courageous and a light in the darkness for so many. I remember our high school days, you were so smart ! Riding our ponies flat out to the river and then swimming with them. We had the best of times. Your support of me through think and thin will always stay with me forever.
With all my love I say goodbye . Ride your horses now and be free with Kelly I know she will be there with you.

Thinking back to when we were kids at Colyton School, our lives were enriched by the entrance of Maria and Donna. Those were wonderful times! Endless summers, horse riding, mucking about on farms.
Later in our lives, we caught up occasionally. Those were good chats, I admired how much Maria did, and how calmly she approached the worst times.
Much love to Maria's husband, parents, Donna, and indeed all her extended family.
