Dear Steve and family. I am saddened to learn of Maria's passing, too early.
Maria was an outstanding person - a great teacher who was passionate about everything (teaching, her students, theater, music, administration, her colleagues, the school, etc.)
Maria brought joy to whatever she was involved in. I cherished her person, her collegiality her "work", her help and will miss her.
Maria made a positive difference in this world. May her memories be a blessing.
With love,
(Dr.) Cecile Somme

My deepest condolences to the entire family on your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
I was fortunate to have Maria as my Italian teacher when l was attending St. Mary's back in the late 70's.
Maria was an excellent teacher. She was very passionate about teaching. She also had a love for theatre. Maria always filled the classroom with her high energy and positive spirit. She was always very kind and compassionate towards all the students, willing to help out with any problem.
Maria, you truly fulfilled your purpose in life in many ways. Well done!
I'm blessed we crossed paths.
Sincerely
Louis Borsato

Ciao Maria,
ci siamo sentiti solo l'11 giugno scorso e te ne sei andata così presto.
Qui in Italia, nella mia liguria, c'era brutto tempo.
Ora c'è il sole ma tu non ci sei più.
Le nostre più sentite condoglianze alla famiglia.
Un abbraccio a Steve, e alle mie cugine Ornella e Patrizia, a Julia e Miriam.
Il tuo cugino Dino, la moglie Pina e la figlia Fabiana.
Famiglia Stampone.

My sincerest and deepest condolences Steve, Julia, Miriam, and Maria's family. Although it has been many years since we last saw each other in person, I will always remember the time that I spent with Maria Concetta at various family events. Maria Concetta was the eldest of the children born to the Fabrizio cousins, who were more like siblings growing up rather than cousins. She had a special aura about her that lit up a room, and her kindness to us younger relatives was so very much appreciated. I have so many fond memories of her coming to the United States and spending time with us in our home, or of me and my family traveling up to Canada for visits.

My sincere condolences to Steve, Julia, Miriam and family...
Maria was my French teacher early on in high-school. I then got to know her while working on a couple Theatre SMC productions (Flowers and West Side). Many years later when I began producing shows for Theatre SMC, I learned a lot of tips and tricks from Maria and she was a great mentor! Our paths would continue to cross over the years whether it was out and about enjoying any and all things art or as a cast member in a production I was involved with. She always had a smile on her face no matter the circumstance. She gave so much and touched so many. Her love and passion will continue to burn bright through all those she had an impact on and through you and your loved ones as you share stories and reminisce about happier days.
R.I.P. Maria <3
