Its been 16 years since we lost you Maureen. We lost touch when my life took a turn and I left you all behind on Almond street. It saddens me I was not there for you like I was when you were a child. You had a wonderful heart and a Wonderful Soul. You loved the animals and I am so sorry I was too selfish dealing with my own tragedy and abandoning you kids. I have to live life everyday just thinking what if? What if I reached out? You would probably still be here today. We had some great memories. As a adult I should have reached out to you. Not a day goes by your not on my mind in my heart. Love you always, your friend forever, Bill :-(

Maureen: I know its a little late to be writing to you. Well I had the baby. I had him on January 28, 2005. I wish you were here to see him and enjoy him. He would have liked you. Your alot of fun. Like when we were kids. I dont have the words to express how I feel about your death. Im really sorry I wasnt at your viewing. I just want you to know that I miss you and I wish you were here to see the baby. I miss not seeing you around the neighborhood. My brother says hi. He stops at the store sometimes. I am so sorry that your gone. I really miss you Moe. I miss the fun days when we were little and we all used to hang out in Billys shed on Gordon street. That was fun. I miss all them good times. Well I just want you to know that I miss you and I wish you were here. I love you and I always will. Ill see you when its my time to go. Love you.

Moe, So many good things I can wirte in here about you. My childhood would of been nothing without your love and ability to care so much for me.

I love you Maureen, and i always did and i always will.

Such a beautiful person inside and out. It's so hard to believe that your not here anymore. You have affected a lot of peoples lives whether you realize it or not. And you will be sadly missed by the many lives you touched.
