It is with my sympathy and deepest condolences in the great loss of your beautiful wife, mother, grandmother, sister, Aunt, cousin and friend Maureen. She was taken to soon and way to young. She left a wonderful family behind her but she left so much of herself with her love and caring of everyone. She is going to be so deeply missed by all who knew and who loved her. Remember Maureen's smile, her gentle nature, her kindness....all that she was but most of all the love she had for each of you. May God watch over you and give you the strength and courage to continue on without her her. She is here only in a different way. She will be with you always. I loved Maureen so much. Sending my love, hugs and sending my prayers to all of you. God bless you. All my love, always, Debbie and Ricky
