Hi Mo. It's hard to believe it's been 8 years since you left us. I often think about you and think about all the wonderful times we spent together. Never had a real friend like you. Oh how I wish my friend you were here. Remember I'm always thinking about you. May you rest in peace. Your friend always

Maureen, your positive attitude and drive is to be commended. It was a pleasure to work with you, to share a beer with you, to laugh with you ---- a pleasure to know you.
I will always be amazed by your strength, courage, and determination as you fought your battle a battle not known to many. Most of your friends and coworkers saw only your incredible work ethic, sense of humor, and willingness to help others. Even in passing, your decision to leave this world as someone who could shed light on your illness and perhaps on a cure is to be commended. I pray your wish comes true!
Your absence has left a major void in the office and in our hearts. I miss you, but am thankful you have found peace and comfort --- rest well.
I'm sure you've already organized a few heavenly happy hours. Cheers to you my friend!

My Dearest "MO"
It's been a very hard time for me losing a friend that has meant so much. Through the tears and saddness I find myself thinking of all the wonderful memories I have of you, and begin to smile.
You were the first friend I made 15 years ago, and knew then that our friendship would be special. You were not just a friend, but a sister as well.
I will never forget you "MO". I know you will always be smiling down on me from heaven. I love and wiil miss you.
Your friend...

Mo was a loving, kind, gracious lady with a heart as big as Texas. She's been a family friend of ours for many years now. She had an array of diversified friendships during her lifetime. And the love we all have for her is the thread that binds us all together still today, as well as the love she had for each one of us. I visited Mo two weeks before her passing and that's when I noticed the little cross made out of baby blocks sitting on the table close to her bed. It was her son's she told me. This led to a short conversation about Heaven. As we were holding hands, I told her I had been praying for her and she whispered softly, I know! When I told her how much Jesus loved her, she replied with most certainty, Yes I know! She seemed at peace and was not afraid. As I brushed away the tears, I knew I would not see my friend again, until we meet someday in that most perfect place called Heaven. Love and Hugs forever...
