Rest In Peace dear cousin Maria. You will be missed so much by all. We last spoke the day my mom passed in December and you wanted to come up from Florida and I told you not to and we will get together when you are back. We all will miss your laugh (and cooking of course). RIP

I am so sorry to hear of Maria's passing. I am so grateful to Joseph for finding me to let me know. Maria, you were my best bud in high school and for years after. You were there for me in good times and bad. One of my favorite memories is when you had Joseph on my 19th birthday! I was also there to welcome John into the world! How many nights we watched movies together! I spent so much time at your home...your home felt like my home! I am so sorry we just lost touch over the years. I remember when you came to my mom's funeral in 2007. I was so surprised and touched to see you. You will always stay in my heart as a very dear and special friend. I only wish I knew you were down here in Florida...even just as a snowbird! We many not have had the chance to see each other here, but I will be there to thank you for your friendship on Saturday. You are now with Joe again, and I am sure Heaven is smiling. May you rest in Heavenly peace.
With love from your friend, Adele Constantino Moye

I have very happy memories with my cousin, Maria. When we were little, we spent a lot of time together, whether we were at the Bellmaur house or all the years down the shore with the family. She was strong, feisty and funny. A wonderful mother to Joseph and John, and whenever we spoke she always talked about her grandchildren, whom she loved dearly. I am so sad I could not have seen her one last time, but in my heart I know she is up in the heavens surrounded by our family. Maria, You will be missed.

Maria was a co worker at Rutgers. I have so many beautiful memories, will always remember her kind heart. Fly high and will meet again! 🙏🏻

I've known Maria since infancy. She was my best friend growing up. She always had my back. My sides hurt whenever I remember all of the laughing I did with Vickie, Ann, and Maria. I left New Jersey over forty-five years ago and seldom went back. However, Maria and I still remained as close as ever. She will be sorely missed, by all, for her kindness and wonderful personality. I'm certain that she is in heaven with the Lord!

I had dinner with Maria in February down in Florida. In spite of everything that she was dealing with, the first thing on her mind was trying to fix me up with someone which she actually tried. That’s the kind of heart she had.
