“It is with profound sadness that Danielle and I learned that Maria passed after a short illness. We were lifted, as so many others have been, by her positive energy and concern for all living things. For Maria, dancing was a celebration and a form of gratitude for life. We feel privileged to have had her as a guest on BSOL. We offer our heartfelt condolences to her family, friends, and the many she touched with her dancing and music.” – Dr. Roger Landry, MD, MPH
