To my dear friend Maria, thank you for all the laughs, long chats, adventures, dancing, singing, wine tastings, and more. Thank you for being such a kind and thoughtful friend from your check-in texts to showing up for the big events. Who would have thought two gals from UCSB would meet in a learning abroad program half way around the world, and continue a friendship a decade later. From graduations, travels, engagements, bachelorettes, and weddings, we’ve been through so much. I’ll miss you always, and I’ll continue to reflect back on all the fond memories. Rest in heaven sweet friend 🤍🕊️
