Maggie was truly the most inspirational, loving, and happiest young lady not only that I've worked with, but that I've ever known. That smile and laugh touched my heart every time. She will be greatly missed, but never forgotten. I'm sure shes walking and talking up in heaven looking over you.

As a nurse I've worked with many children, but Maggie was one of the most special. Her bright, contagious smile was unforgettable. I am truly blessed to have had the pleasure of working with such a remarkable little human being. She touched many lives in ways we cannot put into words. And that is a reflection of you two, her loving, caring and devoted parents. You and your extended families showered her with such affection. May your memories keep you strong during this very difficult time. All our love and deepest sympathy, Anne & Peter Maxon, Amy, Heather, Michelle and Erica.

Maggie, you were sunshine and an inspiration, just as your mom and dad are. From you we learned what is important and what is not. From you we learned to hug our loved ones a little more, a little tighter, with more love. You were our angel here, disguised as the special girl you were. We will never forget you or the love you brought all of us and the simple joys of life. We will meet you again in heaven and watch you entertain us all. Love and prayers to the Gallaghers and Parkers
