Both Kjerstin & Nime in Canada are grateful to the PONSFORD family for sharing Maria's journey with us. Missing Maria will not be a problem , its knowing that she is never coming back will be tough. Our special relationship started in 1967, a relationship that others go their whole life to find and some never do. Unfortunately this will now become a memory which will become a treasure. As we all limp through these COVID 19 times we wish everyone to be safe and strong ,just like Maria always wanted us to be. Sincere condolences

Maria always so warm, generous and welcoming with a wonderful smile. A beacon of light amongst us. A blessing and privilege to have known her. Jane, Mark and Alice Taylor

As a much-loved member of our Home Group, we shall always remember Maria for the way she lit up the room as she conversed with those around her, always loving, always caring and always positive whatever her own problems may have been. We will miss you greatly Maria - rest in peace. Di and Bob
