Although we have never met, my family feels such a strong kinship with yours through our most wonderful friend, Maureen. She was without a doubt the most gracious person we have ever known. She would, without fail, participate in our crazy family reunions every summer, and although we are sure, it was to spend time with her beloved friend, our Aunt Sally, she somehow became our beloved friend and family. Our summers without her will never be the same, and yet, we feel so lucky to have had this strong and courageous women in our lives. We feel your loss and are thinking of you all during this most difficult time. We will love our dear Maureen forever.
