Dear Dick,Girls and Family,

Maureen was more than special. She lighted up a room with her enthusiasm,and her joy of life. And that she did have!

Her children and grandchildren were so loved by her. It showed in her eyes each time she related a story to us.

Dick, you and Maureen had much more than a marriage--you had a partner, a teammate, and a beloved friend.

We are with you in prayer.

God bless you forever,Maureen

My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. We are all blessed to have known such a compassionate and loving woman like Maureen. Heaven is a bit too crowded right now, but at least there is comfort knowing she is at peace and will always be watching over you. She truly loved you girls!
