The love they shared for one another was something special. She is now at peace with the love of her life. Maria is survived by her four children Armando Mello and wife Fatima, Filomena and husband Valdemiro, Jose and wife Manuela, Grace and husband João. She was a loving grandmother to 10 grandchildren and 9 great-grandchildren. She will forever be in the hearts of her family and friends. We little knew that morning, God was going to call your name. In life we loved you dearly, In death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, You did not go alone. For part of us went with you, The day God called you home. You left us beautiful memories, Your love is still our guide. And though we cannot see you, You are always by our side. Our family chain is broken, And nothing seems the same. But as God calls us one by one, The chain will link again
