Maureen Gassman

Britton,

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

I have lost a dear and cherished friend from many years past. We shared much in our Washington days and I was so happy for her NY days. I regret that she suffered much during her last years, but know her spirit was strong though her body was not. She spoke often of your great care and help to her, and her gratitude. I regret that I cannot be in Ephraim at this time, but you all are in my thoughts and memories. MehlRee Draper Downard

Maureen and I have been friends for over 30 years. We went to plays, operas, concerts, ballets and movies together. We had season tickets together to the NY Philharmonic. We played Scrabble almost every Sunday. I missed her so much when she left New York. Whenever I go to Salt Lake City I always visit her and I can tell you that even though the Alzheimers was doing a number on her mind, as of October, 2012 she could still beat me at Scrabble. So, my friend, when this life is finished...

Your family is very special to us. We love you all deeply and know that when we see an extra bright star tonight...she made it home safely. Love, The Turley's Derek, Holly, Rhett, Ace, Alexa, Dylan and Baby Girl

i am so saddened to read of your loss. I love you guys. Annette Egan
