Dear Ella, Steve, Grant, Laura and all the Baratta family, We are so sorry for your loss. We came to know Maria as the mother of Ella, as one of Ethan's favourite grade 1&2 playmates, and her wit, her love, her pizzazz made her a bright light at Carnarvon Elementary. Maria was such a beautiful soul. Her sense of humour, her grace, her creativity, her kindness were gifts to so many. Such a difficult journey she had, and her strength and courage in the face of challenges were incredible. My favourite memories of Maria are of her stopping, mid-walk in our neighbourhood, to revel in the beauty of a rose, the grace of a climbing vine, the blueness of the sky. She taught me truly appreciate the present moment. OUr hearts and thoughts are with you all. Lesley Horton with Colin, Ethan and Maya O'Connor
