With Susan (condolence above) and I starting in the same class at Burnett, we both shared the honor of meeting Maureen right when we started. Always warm, always funny, always sharing expert knowledge - Maureen touched a number of us in ways that will never be forgotten.

My deepest sympathies for the loss of Maureen. I met her in college and was honored to stand up for her and Roger at their wedding. She was such a kind and caring soul, and I am a better person for knowing her. God blessed your family with her three wonderful children, and I pray that He fills your loss with the wonderful memories that Maureen left with everyone she meet

Maureen was one of the first we met at Burnett, and was always there with a big dose of understanding and positivity - a permanent kind heart and smile. I'll miss her in this world.

I know I speak for many Leo Burnett colleagues when I say that Maureen was a bright light in our lives -- always smiling, offering encouragement, bringing real enjoyment to her job. I thoroughly enjoyed her relentless positivity and am still stunned that she is gone.

So, so sorry for your loss. Mo was a riot and made all her Theta sisters laugh until we cried. She had a sweet spirit and will be missed by everyone she ever came into contact with.

I am so sorry for your loss. Maureen was always so nice to me growing up when I would be over at your house with Tom. You are all in our prayers.

Mo was one of the best people I've ever known. She had a spirit like no other and a knack for finding the hilarity in ANY situation. I will miss my friend dearly. Rest in peace, Maureen. You'll forever be in my heart.

Though I did not know Maureen, I can tell she will be terribly missed by the sadness I have seen in her nephew Daniel's eyes all week in class. My heart goes out to the Monaco and O'Malley families. May this new angel in heaven keep watch over you all.

Maureen is a very special girlfriend who I grew up with at Illinois first in the six pack dorms and then the Theta house. Lucky to have met Mo week one freshman year. So many great memories and most involved laughing - sometime so hard we cried. I treasure that time and friendship. My heart goes out to her children, and Mo's Mom & Dad... Sending you strength.

Maureen "Mo" O'Malley was my very first "new" friend at Providence. She took the time to make every one of her friends, of which she had many, feel special. She was such good fun! I cannot imagine the pain that Mr. & Mrs. O'Malley, Karen, Tommy & her children are enduring. Such a beautiful soul left this world way too soon. Continued prayers for the entire O'Malley family.

Mo and I were friends throughout high school. We reconnected through reunions and online. She had such a fun, funny energy - always making myself and everyone around us laugh. And her thoughtfulness knew no bounds. My heart goes out to her children and siblings and parents. I'm sending you all so much love.

I've known Maureen for 20 years, ever since we took a bunch of McDonald's franchisees to the Daytona 500. Hilarity ensued, as it often did with Mo. I was so happy to work with her again at DFCB; we picked up right where we left off. I'm grateful to God for her friendship, and for our very recent conversations. Charlene and I are praying for the entire family - a lovely legacy she leaves behind.

Maureen was in the pledge class below me at Illinois -- Mo O'Malley, as we knew her then. Full of energy. Always a big smile. Up for anything! Our daughters are the same age and attend grade school together. I am blessed to have had Maureen's light in my life. She was a great mother -- Katie, Tommy & Michael are in my prayers -- I know she will watch over them from above. God bless the Murray & O'Malley families.
November 7, 2012
Maureen was such a bright light at in every thing she did. Our years at Burnett were so incredible and I have a special memory of having kids together that I will share with her forever. A super bright angel in heaven, for sure. And it is better because of Mo.

Maureen was a huge part of my childhood. I spent so much time with Maureen and her family while we attended St. Michael's grammar school together and later Providence High School. Maureen's sense of humor was one of a kind and I will never forget her. I can not even begin to understand what the O'Malley family is going through right now. I will continue to pray for Maureen's family and her three beautiful children.

It is with shock and deep sadness I say good bye to this wonderful woman. I worked side by side with Mo at Leo Burnett and she taught me so much. She was a true day brightener, mentor and friend. Love and prayers to her beautiful family. She will always have a special place in my heart.

Maureen and I worked together for many years at Leo Burnett. She had the funniest stories, the most energy and an undying passion to find and nurture new recruits who wanted to work in advertising. She touched many lives in her short time. All of you, (especially Michael, Katie and Tommy) are in my prayers.
