To Maureen's Children and Grandchildren:
She loved you guys and she will always be with us because she is part of our souls---who we really are. I so treasure the last Sunday she was feeling like the old Maureen. She taught me what true love really is on that day. I never appreciated her wisdom. This was a life changing experience for me. She was a real trooper and a kind and loving soul right up to the end. I have been her friend for 55 years and she is part of me. You had a great and wise teacher, make her proud. Be brave, be Irish, because she so wanted you to be happy. Iam so sorry for your loss but treasure the wonder of Maureen in your lives. Love Pat

To Maureen's Family:
I am so deeply sorry to learn about Maureen's death. She was always so upbeat and fun to be around - I've known her for over 20 years (as a member of her "Shower Group"). She loved her family so much - her grandchildren were her life and I know they will miss her terribly.
My prayers are with you all. She was unique and I shall always think of her as my friend.

Pat & Family- We're so deeply saddened by your loss. All of us Gorman boys have such great memories of your Mom as we grew up around the Irish Club with such a tight & loving community. The team trip to Ireland where she did her best to keep an eye on all of us, which was no easy task! She was always so quick with a smile and hug. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family throughout this difficult time.
All our Best -
Senan, Brendan & JJ and John & Mary Gorman

My thoughts and prayers are with you. Maureen was a sweet lady, my granddaughters Phoebe, Chloe and I really enjoyed the short times we spent with her and Molly. She will be missed. Confort will come as wonderful memories will keep her alive in your hearts.
My deepest sympathy

Aunt Maureen I will miss your spontaneous phone calls telling me of yet another interesting genealogy find on the Donovan clan. I will so miss your stories of the Kelly clan in their youth and the wonderful stories you shared with me of my Mom. Your kindness, openness and genuine love will forever stay in my heart. I always promised you that you would be by my side when I made my first visit to the homeland. While I know you won't be there in body, I know that when this Kelly girl hits those green fields you'll be there in my heart. I'll miss you bunches - your "Honey" Trish
