Mrs Cann, what a beautiful soul and smile. I thought about her often after school in 06. How blessed are those that knew her more on a personal level I'm sure. She surely has left a loving touch behind in all of us. Love & Light to family and friends xoxo

Maureen was one of my very best friends in high school. We lived just blocks from each other and spent many fun times together. She was a dear person and I feel privileged to have been her friend. My deepest condolences to her family.
