LoveandMagic 1,731 Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Sounds like she accomplished her life's dream. I hope her death wasn't to painful. I hope that she died happy and surrounded by loved ones, knowing she would be missed but that she had lived her life to the fullest. RIP Maria. Just repeat to yourself, "It's just a show. I should really just relax." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

skaxboy 5,177 Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 I remember watching some of her stuff when I was a kid. Thought it was hilarious and as a kid thought she was a real person as opposed to a character. RIP Comedy Queen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
