Maureen, I am so sorry for your loss of your beautiful mom. She always greeted me and my two boys, Josh and Ethan, with a warm smile when we attended North Boulevard. I could always count on her hug and hello. May you be comforted in the days ahead and find peace in knowing you will see her again. Much love, Maggie Sims (Bowers)

I have many fond memories of your mom when I taught with her at Bellwood. She always had a smile and kind, supportive words for me when I was a new teacher. She spoke of you often and with such joy, so I know she loved you very much. My prayers are with you and your family.
