We met when I joined the world of PI insurance and people claims. I learned so much from Maria, as she was always willing to share her knowledge and expertise. But more than that, we became friends, and both being mothers of boys and were able to share those joys. She was always kind, and full of good humor. I particularly remember our days at Royal Ascot with great fondness. I still can't quite believe she's gone, but most of all my heart goes out to Takis and the boys, who must miss her dreadfully. RIP Maria, knowing you were well loved.
