Not sure what to say?

Just got a notice about a new entry so I spent some time reading the sweet notes. Such a beautiful woman with a sweet personality. Long long ago she gave me her family recipe for Irish Cream. I'm so sorry that I misplaced it. I'll bet you all toast to her with some every Christmas...or today.

I was a brand new Flight Attendant in 1971 and I vividly remember that whenever I was looking for a smile or some encouragement, I could always count on finding it in Maureen. It meant a great deal to me and I have tried to be that kind of person throughout my life. I am very sorry for your loss and you have my deepest sympathy.

Dear Dan and family,

Dear Dan and family...I spent many a trip with Maureen flying to Las Vegas...we always had such a wonderful time while working and on our layovers...she was such a delight to be around...all of us who worked with Maureen will always remember her as a special friend and co-worker...we will miss her...love and strength to you all Love Pat Erickson
