Not sure what to say?

At the end, we don't always get a chance to say "goodbye." Maureen was my younger first cousin and our mothers (who were sisters) hosted wonderful get-togethers as we were growing up. Maureen taught me to swim at the Monmouth Beach Club (I hated the water), and she got me up and doing "the Lindy," which is what 'Dancing With the Stars' calls Jive!
I remember how pretty she was. I applaud and celebrate her life from early days in NJ to her career accomplishments and commitments in NYC....

Maureen and I both began working at Fordham University in 1986 and received our 20 year awards together. I greatly admired her elegance and ability to orchestrate one of a kind events for the Business School with style and class. She was a personal friend and mentor on many levels. She brought a level of sophistication to all that she touched and made it all seem so easy to do. I know that I will personally miss her friendship and advice and send my condolences to her family and close...

Maureen was my friend for over 40 years, and oh how I shall miss her. She was clever, sweet, funny and always, always a dedicated friend. I cherished our friendship and will miss that connection. I will always remember and think about you, Maureen. I loved you very much.

Maureen was a dear and true friend. We shared so much together, from our love of Italy to our daily inspirational phone calls -- and everything in between. I am blest to have known her. Rest in peace my friend.

Maureen was stylish, elegant, smart and fierce. I met her in NYC when I was first working in the world of retail. There was nothing wishy washy thing about her and she was an inspirational force whom I'll remember until the end of my life. As the fashion great Yves St. Laurent once said..."Fashions fade, style is eternal." I wish Maureen eternal peace...she had the style. Bettina Bierly

Maureen will forever be in my heart and mind as a a good friend and wonderful woman. May she be at peace.

Maureen was a delightful person and a fierce competitor on the tennis court. I was privileged to play doubles with her as partner in the mid-70's in the Hamptons. She fought for every point. And more importantly she was a great friend. She'll be missed.
