To Kevin and all the cousins,I am thinking of you all and I hope to get over in the next while to see you.Please know that you are all in my thoughts and that you have a lot of support in Ireland.

McGillian-Haley family: we just learned of Maureen's passing. We are so sorry to hear this, it's such a shock. We wished we had known so we could have come to be with you during this time. We love Maureen and your entire family so much. Maureen was such a fun and loving person and we already miss her. We have talked to her but the last time we saw her was when we came to her mother's funeral. We will keep you in our prayers. Phyllis and Margie (St. Christopher's Hospital for Children)

Our love and prayers for the McGillian/Haley family. As with everyone else, it's almost impossible to put grief and memories into words on a page. Maureen was as bright a light as anyone I've ever met. Her smile, laughter, sense of humor, loyalty and friendship will be missed - forever. Thank you, Mo, for teaching me about living, loving, singing and dancing like no one is watching. And a couple times like someone WAS watching. Forever grateful for knowing you.

Maureen - you were always such an encourager; a compassionate, gifted, and skilled nurse, a faithful and steadfast friend, and you saw everyone for their greatest potential and always saw the best in people. You treated everyone with kindness and love. You smiled...All the time! No matter what was going on, at work or in your life, you always had a smile and a laugh to share with those around you. You made such a wide-spread impact in our Emergency Department and our community. You cared about your friends, co-workers, and family deeply, and it showed in all you did.
My prayers go out to Maureen's family and especially to Beav.
Matthew 11:28 says it best: "Come to me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." Maureen, you are finally able to rest, in the loving arms of God.

I am thanking God for using the life of one amazing woman to touch the lives of so many!!

Love and prayers...
Mary-Helen and Jay Scales

Maureen - The world is not as bright without you in it and we will be forever grateful that we were blessed to have you in our lives.
