It is with deep sadness that we say goodbye to Tita Maria, who for us was always a joy and a person who looked upon us as her children.
Her heart was always warm to us and her love was a given. Her smile and energy brought joy to every occasion we attended, and her absence was always noted. It was just that a family celebration was not complete unless she was there.
Our memory of her will never fade, and as her heart light passes from this life a bright star somewhere is blessed with her glow.
And while we will miss her we see her leaving as a new start for her to be with those that she loved, that she will enjoy for all eternity.
Wit love,
Art & Linda Cofresi

Since I Was Born "Lola" Always Cooked My Favorite Filipino Food For Me "Tinola". Far Back As I Can Remember "Lola" Always Prepared "Tinola" When I Would Go Visit Her. I Ate It At Other Places & Even Tried To Cook It But There Will Never Be Nothing Like Lola's Tinola.
I Want To Thank You "Lola" For All The Years Of Family Fun & Filipino Food. Montana St. Fair Ranch Rd. Regents Blvd. Huntington Cmn. I Lived, Slept, Or Stayed At All Those Places. If I Was Right Or Wrong "Lola" You Always Let Me In. You Went Above & Beyond As A Grandmother. I Will Never Ever Forget That. You & Your Cooking Will Be Truely Missed.
