When I first met Maria, I was struck by how vibrant and warmhearted she was. It was as if every day was a birthday and every moment was a gift to be opened. Maria listened with immense understanding, spoke with great enthusiasm and had a unique gift of embracing everything with the joy and innocence of a child. One couldn’t help but be drawn to her. She inspired me as an artist, as a mother and as a human being. Underneath her humble demeanor, was a visionary, a life coach and a spiritual leader who led by example and never asked for anything in return. Savanah and I will miss her dearly.

Friday, May 29th, 2009To Maria,
You were a goddess, a wonderful mother, a great friend, you were simply a ray of sunlight whose love for life and your son shone upon anyone who met you. I am blessed to have had you for a friend and sister in this struggle & blessing called life. To have laughed with you razzing refs and telling you to leave Kenny alone while he mugging in a game. Thank you for your generosity and beautiful smile. I am honored to call you an Angel.
Kenny – I wish I could hold you and make this all go away. But I take solice in knowing your mom left a legacy of people like myself who honor and love you both. I am here for you period. In any way, be it a place to stay, a meal, a ride that someone else can\’t give. Expect to see me in the stands next year during your varsity games along with the girls, we will be there to cheer you on. Do not ever hesitate to call me.
~Naomi & Family

We will miss you
Friday, May 29th, 2009My family was very sad to hear this tragic news. We know Maria and Kenny from West Marin Soccer, where Kenny played with our son Calvin on the West Marin Riot team. Maria was a devoted mother to Kenny and he is a living testament to her care and loving nature. Maria was fun to be around and always had a smile or laugh to share. We will miss Maria and the joy and love she brought to this earth. Kenny, you will be in our thoughts and prayers. Stephen, Wendy and Calvin

Friday, May 29th, 2009Maria Maria…
It took me this few days to get myself together but I had to shake out of it because I know you would NOT have wanted me to be down. Since the first time I met you and our sons played B-Ball together I knew you were a special lady. My family and I will hold on dearly to all of our memories with you. I never imagined that the hug we shared on Friday or the laughs we shared on Saturday would be our last on this earth but it gives me comfort that I know you were an ANGEL to all here on earth so I know without a doubt that you are now an ANGEL in HEAVEN! You had been nothing less than a Blessing to Me, Chinna, LaKim and BreAnne and we will forever hold you in a close special place in our hearts, WE LOVE YOU MARIA MIKELL!!!

Support for Kenny
Friday, May 29th, 2009My name is Dani Fishman and I work at Marin Education Fund where Kenny is a part of our Summer Application Institute college preparation program. He has been a joy to work with for the past year and our entire staff was deeply sorry to hear the news of Maria’s passing. While I only met Maria a handful of times, she was a kind and gracious person and an extremely supportive and dedicated mother. We all want to assure Kenny that we are here to support him in any way that we can.
Blessings,
Dani
