My heart is broken! I met Maria during hurricane Katrina when she fled to Georgia, I fostered her dogs , boogie & tango and made a good friend in Maria. I received a returned Christmas card today that I sent to her in dec 2018, I had no idea my friend was gone .... broken hearted ....

I just found out today. I feel sad. I’ve been thinking of visiting at the dance school. I knew Maria for a long time. We danced and performed together many times. She was great. I always admired her. I will miss her. I’ll always remember her.

I'm sorry I'm so late posting this condolence for Maria. I just found out last week that she had passed. I've known Maria since I was 15 - we went to high school together, she was in my wedding party and we attended many functions together when we were young. I never knew that she was ill. Maria was a wonderful, beautiful person, always joyful and loved teaching dance. I will miss her tremendously and want to express my sympathy to all of her relatives and friends. She will be sincerely missed.

I knew Maria for some time and want to express my deepest sympathies for the loss of an amazing woman. One memory I want to share is that when I had to move from where I was living Uptown unexpectedly Maria offered to open her home to me until the apartment I was to receive was ready for occupancy Maria was always immaculately groomed and had one of the most beautiful smiles one could have. I will miss her sorely and prayers are with you at this difficult time.

Ms Maria will be missed. She was an amazing dancer and a great dance teacher and she was my dance teacher for 8 years. Along with being my dance teacher she was my families good friend and I loved seeing her at a lot of Mardi Gras functions. I will never forget you Ms Maria.

Ms. Maria was a wonderful teacher and an amazing dancer. I learned so much from her and had some great adventures dancing all over the state. But even more than that, she was a good friend. May her soul be at rest.
