To Emily and the Tierney Family my deepest condolences. Maureen had a smile and laughter that could fill a room and a heart as big as the beach she loved.

Maureen, I will miss you!! I loved hearing your memories of me being your first friend when you transferred from Saint James to Bennett, singing in the choir, and telling me I was a bright spot for you then! In the short time we reconnected, you were a bright spot for me now! I will cherish those memories for the rest of my life! I will never forget what we talked about and I have saved those messages. I knew you as a kind, nurturing, sweet and gentle soul. You will be a welcome song to the angels singing in Heaven! It was healing for me to talk to you Michael. Thank you so much for that! My sincere condolences to you and your family.
