We were the Pigeon Sisters together in The Odd Couple at the Barn II. She brought a light wherever she went & we had a giggling good time! The world is less bright and less fun without her.

Maria Lane, was one of a few,  Favorite teacher. Fun, Funny, and Understanding. Her smile is always  contagious. She and Cheryl Rauhous came to see me at my work place at the time I was there. it was always a special treat to see her. We kept up on Facebook over the past several years. She will be missed dearly. I'll miss her posts on Facebook. 

R.I.P. Maria   I will  never  forget. You were definitely someone  special.           Laurie Yetton

I got to know Maria while working on the Naples Tables program together. We did it two years in a row. We were so "together" on our thoughts relative to how the program should come together! Her attention to detail was simply splendid. She is missed greatly and I feel blessed to have had the chance to work with her in The League Club.

O God who by the glorious resurrection of your Son Jesus Christ destroyed death, and brought life and immortality to light: Grant that your servant Maria being raised with Christ, may know the strength of his presence and rejoice in his eternal glory; who with you and the Holy Spirit lives and reigns, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
