Maria Caroline Angelino was the spunkiest, most determined person I have ever met! Even battling cystic fibrosis for as long as I knew her, Maria never let CF get the best of her or her spirit.
Maria, Mary Farley and I spent many countless hours playing together as youngsters, and to this day I can close my eyes and see Maria's smile and dark eyes. Maria Angelino passed away in the fall of 1984, but every time I've hit a bump in the road, smelled baby food or enzymes, or just am lucky enough to remember "those days gone by", I think of Maria and can't help but smile and thank God for bringing her into my life!!
