Read MoreI am so glad I found this guest book. I never met Maureen in person, only on the AOL food boards and I loved her dearly. She was so kind to all of us and had such a great sense of humor. I will miss her very much. May her soul rest in peace

To us, she was "Mrs. Dell." We loved hearing her accent and remember how warm and welcoming she was to us and to all her children's friends. We know Joanne and Suanne loved her dearly and we are so very, very sorry for this great loss. Our hearts go out to all of you.

I remember the first time I met Maureen when she and Jim came to see us in Illinois with their three beautiful children. I thought how brave to come to a new place and leave your home in England. Over the years we had so much fun - the weddings were always fun with Helga and The Mayor. I think one of the best memories of Maureen was if you mentioned someone was ill or had a problem her quick response was I'll put them on our prayer chain. She loved everyone and we were lucky to be her...

I know Sadie from talking to her on the internet on AOL cooking boards.
The internet can be a cold place, but the warmth of Sadie came right through!
You will be missed, Sadie.

Maureen, you were the best! I am still knitting blankets for the hospital with the pattern you gave me in the 80's. Always there with tea and sympathy you help me through many crisis, and suggestions on projects to do everytime I left a job. Thanks to you photo albums are up to date, receipt rewritten and knitting projects for the needy continue. When your hands could not knit anymore I took the signal and knit less but have 6000+ on hats and blankets for needy all over the world. Stan,...

Maureen Dell... my sister-in-law, my friend. Maureen was one of a kind... always smiling and upbeat. Her and Jim had a special relationship and I can still hear in my mind the banter between the two of them. She was a great friend to talk to if anything was bothering you, always with a positive, down to earth understanding and always ready with prayer and support. She definitely contributed a great deal to all who knew her and to those who will reap the benefits through those of us who...
