I have many good memories of Maureen from LCMH. Have only been in touch every 5 years at reunions due to distance. We were diagnosed with breast cancer the same year. She has been in my thoughts many times over the past several years. God Bless her family, and close friends. She will be greatly missed.

Although I never met Maureen, I had many conversations with her through NMFF. Maureen gave me so much guidance with my own diagnosis of Breast Cancer. She was such a cheerleader and friend; offering me enocouragement, laughter and informaton. It wasn't until events settled down in my own life, that Maureen shared she was still doing battle with this awful disease. I do believe Maureen had a wonderful gift to offer to all patients.

May God Bless your family during this sorrowful time but find comfort in knowing she was an angel to many. She will continue to be a guardian angel to your family and all those suffering from Breast Cancer.
