I had the pleasure of meeting Maurice in the late 1990's and was her hairstylist for several years. She was always so kind, encouraging, and interesting. We reconnected through Facebook a few years ago, and I was so happy to hear from her. I had no idea she was sick, and I'm so sorry for your loss.
