What a fantastic lady, just about every memory of my youth had the Fantin Family in it, I could not have wished for a more lovely lady to be my best friend‘s mum. She will always be remembered and loved xxxx

Maria was such a big part of my childhood, and so many of my memories growing up include her and being around your house. She was always so welcoming and full of warmth, with a youthful and gorgeous sense of humour that just made you feel at ease.

She wasn’t just my best mate’s mum, she was someone who genuinely mattered to me growing up, and I feel really lucky to have known her. I’ll always remember her kindness, her laugh and the way she made people feel just by being herself.

Sending so much love to you all. She’ll always be remembered. Simon Ramshaw xxx
