I met Maria at Fitness Together in Natick 13 years ago and had the privilege to train this beautiful young lady.Even though I was 30 years older than Maria, we became instant friends. We attended Mass together and I , being a Massage Therapist , worked on Maria for 2 hours. I know she thoroughly enjoyed it, as she said it did wonders for her very athletic body. Right now I am in total shock , having learned of her passing this past April. To Marias mother I can only say how hard it must be to have to bury a child, just as Our Blessed Mother had to with her Son, our Lord. I have given Maria the gift of perpetual Masses said in her honor, and when I return to Medjugorje once again I hope to climb Apparition Hill and there offer Maria a Holy Rosary and Divine Mercy Chaplet in her honor. I will also speak to Ivan (one of the apparitionists ) from Medjugorje. As hard as it is for any family members to let go of a beloved family member, I can only hope that you all know that we will all be in Heaven one day, and be reunited with all our loved ones. GOD Bless you all, and keep the faith. Paul 508 596 5009. I would love to hear from David, or any of Marias family members to share my memories of Maria.

I only just learned of Maria's passing months after the fact and am just so shocked and saddened by the news. I looked her up on Facebook because I just thought I saw her over the weekend (while in west hartford). My deepest condolences to the Flanders and Olohan families, I can't imagine what your are going through. My memories of Maria are always of her vibrance, enthusiasm, and passion and I'll never forget those qualities because they still exist in my mind as a model for aspiring to. To her family, I am so sorry for your loss- She will be missed by all who's lives crossed paths with hers. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I'm so deeply sorry for your loss - Ryan is one of the very best people I've ever met and I'm sure Maria had a big role in that.

Maria radiated a spectacular light during her time teaching in Wellesley. Surely that was only a small glimpse into the eternal light that she is a part of now.

May the road rise to meet you, May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face, The rains fall soft upon your fields. And until we meet again, May God hold you in the palm of his hand.

I remember her vibrant presence in the Wellesley Middle School. A light has passed out of this world.

Middle School is such a challenging time and Maria made chorus a happy and positive place for every student. I’ve never seen any class or activity since her chorus class that got 100% class participation. She was a gift to our children and we will treasure her place in our lives forever.

Maria is with the angels now. She was a pure person with a kind heart. She brightened everyone’s lives who knew her.

I have no doubt perpetual light will shine upon Maria for eternity. Light begets light. My continued thoughts and prayers to all of you; please be assured of that. I am so very sorry for your tremendous loss.

We knew Maria when she was living in Wellesley and working at Wellesley Middle School. She had such a powerful, positive impact on everyone she met. Students adored her, and their passion for music grew because of her dedicated and engaging teaching style. She was someone truly very special and will be greatly missed.
