Maureen,You were one of my Best friends, I am so sad that we had such a unfinished end to an amazing friendship! I remember our road trip hitch hiking up to San Francisco when we were 19, and being stopped by cops because they thought we were runaways (what an adventure). So many memories of laughing until it hurt. I miss you but have comfort in knowing you are at peace! I hope you enjoyed your ride up "The Stairway to Heaven!" You are in my prayers!!!

Maureen, we miss you every day. Your passing has taught us just how fleeting life is and to appreciate each day we are given. I hope you've met up with Daddy and Donna and will watch over all of us who you have left behind. Love, Sandy.

I was friends in high school with her sister Sandy every time I would go over to their house I would have to bring my 45 of the song Hold Me Thrill Me Kiss Me, her favorite song, so she could play it over and over again.
