I had the priviledge of helping Maureen launch the asthma program at Fallon Community Health Plan. Her enthusiasm for the program was only surpassed by the love she constantly expressed for her family. She will be missed, but always be in our thoughts.

I just got a telephone call from Jean informing me of the passing of your daughter Maureen. I cannot express how badly I feel. She was the same age as my son, Billy, and the thought of losing a child at any age is unbearable. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this very sad time.
