Hey,
Although i did not know you very well, it is still very sad. I am sure you are still dancing away. You are in my thoughts. Keep on smiling and watch over your family for me. That would be great. Many people loved you so much. Never forget that.
Love always,
A friend

Maeve, we will never forget you and your cute little smile. Keep on dancing and laughing up in heaven. I hope that someday I can understand why God took you away so soon. You were only here for a little while, but your memory will live on forever, I know that all the funny stories of you will not be forgotten. I miss you so much Maeve, dance isnt the same without another "baby". Watch over us, we're praying for you.

Princess Maeve,
I think of you so often maesie, especially on this day. It still feels like yesterday when I last babysat you caroline and kara that day that we set of your house alarm, remember that!? that was scary =/
Although you were only with us for a short period of time, all the wonderful memories that we did share will last forever in my heart. Your memory and beaming personality that I see in your sisters and cousins with last forever, as I always know that you are right there next to me with them all. I miss us tickling eachother until we both were crying from laughing, and miss hearing you scream "karaoneill" as if it were one name, not two. And I miss dancing with you at night until you wore yourself out until I had to tuck you into bed, AFTER you just HAD to listen to your music first. I still remember your dressup parties, your crazy little outfits, your irish steps, your catwalk struts, seeing you in my old clothes, your teenage like attitude, our special movies and shows, your love for the color purple and most of all your laughter and smile (: I love you so much Maeve and pray everyday that you are watching over all of us being the angel that you are. One day I hope God will help me to understand why he took you from us so suddenly. Until then, continue to shine over us still being the little princess that we know and love. Love you babygirl. Always & Forever, your babysitter and Friend.

Mike, MB, Caroline and Kara- hope that the love and support from family and friends has gotten you through this day. May the memories you've shared with your maesie give you strength and forever be cherished in your hearts. Love You All.

Maeve- you are forever dancing, laughing, playing and smiling in our hearts everyday.

Hey Maeve.. I can't believe its been a year since you left this world. Not a day goes by that I don't think about you and all our fun times playing together. Remember that awesome gingerbread house we made last christmas!? It came out so awesome! I know God has his reasons for taking you and I'm sure I'll figure it out when I meet with you again in Heaven.. But until then I will always remember your smile and joy you brought to my life and your family and friends. We all miss you so much. Just know we all love you. Keep looking down on us and smile like you always have. Love and miss you always Maeve.. Keep on dancing up there and continue to be the happiest little irish dancer.
Marybeth, Mike, Kara, Caroline and Family - Stay strong through this tough day and time. Always in my prayers.

Dear Maeve,

It's difficult to believe that almost a year past since we saw you. We miss seeing you in your silky pajamas, your catwalk struts, your little hook toe but most of all just your smile. Your memory will live on in Megan and Marisa. They continue to laugh at the fun times that you spent together! We are all so lucky to have had you in our lives! We will continue to search for pennies, rainbows and butterflies. We love you!
Love, Ally, Harry, Megan, Marisa, Sean and Molly Maeve.

MaryBeth and Michael, Words are so hard to express my sorrow for you and your family. Tears fill my eyes everytime I think about your loss and see the sorrow in your eyes. I pray that you find peace that those around you loved Maeve and your family and care about you deeply. Each and every day we think about her and remember the brief time we spent with her. Those memories will be cherished forever. My girls and myself will be thinking of you and praying for you and your family. Carol, Bob, Michelle, Laura and Katie Masse Brandon, Florida

In looking for another family I accidentally came across your obit for Maeve. I couldn't move on because I was so touched by the guest book and pictures. Again, I am a stranger, but the weight of your loss brought tears to my eyes, I am so sorry this has happened to your families. Rest assured, I will never forget the name Maeve, and remember her face when I hear it.

November 21, 2007

Maeve is remembered and missed everyday that passes. Let the wonderful memories of her be your strength during this time.

Marybeth, Mike, Caroline & Kara..
Words do not express how sorry I am of the loss of your Maesie. I will always remember her energetic, happy and joyful personality. Memories of family gatherings at the Nana Pat's, and babysitting your Maeve, Caroline and Kara will always be cherished in my heart. Never will I forget Maeve. She was our angle, but she is in a safe place now, in gods hands, where we can always look up to her, as she watches over us. The day will come when we think of the Maeve, and smiles come to our faces because of the love and happiness she braught us all. Not a day goes by that I dont pray for your family, and not a day goes by that I dont think of Maeve, and the wonderful memories we've had. Stay strong, and in high spirits as you try to get through your loss. My thoughts & prayers are with you always.
Love you all.
Maeve; you are dancing, laughing and smiling in our hearts forever. Love and Miss you.

Dear Marybeth and family,
I was so saddened to hear of the loss of your precious little girl, Maeve. I had the pleasure of meeting her once on the day we all came to wish you well when you were leaving Filene's.
Although I sat in an office across from yours for only a short time, I was able to know you as Marybeth Noonan. I had the pleasure of a chat or two with your Dad when he would call and I'd answer the phone. I was rejoicing with you when you became Marybeth Goulding. When our jobs brought us to different locations I continued to rejoice with you upon learning of your new additions to the family... at that time... Caroline and Maeve. When you left the company news spread that another little girl was born, Kara and I was rejoicing with you then.
Maeve was the youngest when you left the Filene's family, and it was then that I got a priceless glimpse of the Goulding family. So beautiful and so happy.
Oh Marybeth, I am so sorry that you had to place your child in Jesus arms so early in life. But with him she will stay, safe... until one day you will see her again. You will see her again Marybeth....
May it comfort you to know that her precious little Happy Feet are still dancing... they are now dancing with Jesus.
You and your family will always be in my prayers.
Love to you all.. Marybeth, Mike, Caroline and Kara.

Dear Members Of The Goulding Family,
Words cannot begin to express the heartfelt sorrow that hit all the members of the Medford Atomic Soccer Club, upon learning of the passing of this precious little child, Maeve. We learned of this through our teammate, Peter Connors, who was also her soccer coach. Maeve's uncles, Sean and Kevin Goulding were also our teammates for several years. As parents and uncles ourselves, we wish to express our sincerest condolences and pray that God gives you all the strength that you may need now and always. We will also pray for Maeve and her eternal soul. Our team will be honored to contribute to Maeve's future remembrance at the Mary Lee Burbank School.

Michael, Mary Beth and The Goulding Family

Upon returning from a trip I was shocked and deeply saddened to learn of the tragic loss of your little girl. It is unimaginable the pain and suffering your family has endured. I understand from those who knew Mauve how precious and adorable she was. The loss of one so precious is something no parent should ever experience. Certainly God took her from you for some great purpose.

There are no words that can be said now to console you but know that a great many people are praying for you and wishing your family the strength you so dearly need. Time and the support of family and friends will help you to heal and focus on the future for your family. Just know that Mauve and the Goulding family will forever be in the thoughts and prayers of your “law enforcement family.”

May you find peace in your memories and comfort from one another. My heartfelt sympathy to you and all of your family.

Maeve had that special spunk to her that lit up the room at family holiday gatherings. We got such a kick out of her and her clever quips that made everyone laugh, in particularly her uncles. Everyone adored her. Words can't express the loss we feel for our cousins and the Noonan family--we are so saddened by these events. We hope that the love and support of family and friends can get you through this difficult time. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all, in particularly Marybeth, Michael, Caroline and Kara.

Gouding Family,

I was so sad to hear about the passing of Maeve. She was a very special girl and there really was no one like her. I will always remember her as the funny, energetic, little girl she was, running around at dance and putting smiles on everyone's faces. She always made you laugh no matter what and i have so many memories of her that i will never forget. God must have needed another little angel and i know she is looking down on everyone right now. She will never be forgotten.

September 28, 2007

I attended Maeve's funeral yesterday and I have no words. "What a beautiful tribute to a beautiful little girl. Mike your speech was so touching and I am sure Maeve heard every word and was so proud of her Daddy. God Bless you and your entire family you will be in my prayers forever.

Peace be with you

September 28, 2007

I have never met your family, I grew up in Belmont, and as a child I lost a very close friend of mine at the age of 10, by an accident. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Know one thing Maeve is still with you in spirit. God must of needed a fun loving, dancing smiling angel. When you sit in silence, know she is with you, so talk to her. Her spirit is still alive.

Greg, Mary, Lauren and Jack Stone

September 28, 2007

We did not know your beautiful Maeve. But when we learned that she was the niece of Brendan and Kim, we realized what a special little girl she was. Michael and Mary Beth, we pray that you and your family find peace in the days ahead. Every heart in Belmont aches for the loss that you suffered -- a loss for all of us, as well. Let each of us be inspired by Maeve to be the kind of person that she would want us to be. May her love and innocence, like that of all our children, always light the way as we strive to make our world a better place.

MaryBeth, I have sat here for hours/days trying to find the right words to write. There are none. I cannot stop thinking about Maeve or your family. It is unimaginable what you are going through. Maeve and our daughter Angela danced together in 2005. It was so fun to watch Maeve and her cousins interact. The little ones adored her. I remember Kara beaming with beautiful smiles when Maeve would come out from her class. How cute they were trying to get a group/family photo of them togheter. I remember seeing a grandmother (maybe your mom) at the recital with her arms filled with flowers for all her girls. And I remember Maeve's smile. How lucky for me. I'm sure my words are not much different than what others have written but I wanted to tell you that Maeve's passing has touched my heart. Maeve's passing has made me cherish my moments with my daughters more. "Maeve" has made me stop and take a breath before getting upset about something silly. She will always be remembered. There is no doubt about that. Maeve left a legacy of love and smiles. What a milestone to have achieved in such a short time. Know that God will bring you together again someday. My grandmother always told me that you never say goodbye - only so long for now. May you think of Maeve's strenth and find your own. May the memory of her smile, make you smile. Please just know that you and your family are in my constant thoughts and prayers. May God Bless you all.

Dear Michael, Marybeth and all the Gouldings,
We saw Deirdre this summer and she told us all about your girls. She was the proud Aunt! We discovered that we both have little daughters named Maeve. Your loss is so very painful and we will keep you in our thoughts and prayers. Love to all.

Mary Beth, Michael, Caroline, and Cara,
I am so sorry that Maeve has passed away. When Molly, Kelly, and I got the horrible phone call on Saturday, we all broke out sobbing. Dance will never be the same without Maeve's energetic personality. She was always happy and was the funniest little girl I've ever met. She will never be forgotten and we will miss her always.
