to Maureen's family. My deepest sympathy to you....she was a great companion/friend to my Uncle Marty and stood by his side to his passing. I know she is probably standing with him now.

My heart is so deeply saddened to lose such a beautiful and sweet cousin. Although we lived so far apart & saw each other so rarely, I was always excited to see her on the occassions that we could be together. I will never forget her beautiful smile and warmth, and the many fun times we had as children at the beach. She will be in my heart always. Love, Christine

To Barbara and the boys..My sister Karen happened to see this in the news and realized it was Maureen..our little Maureen from North Andover. My heart was broken when Sean died, and I hadn't realized that Jim was gone now too. I remember seeing you both at the Memorial Day celebration at the Cemetery a few years back.. I'm so glad that I did too. My heart goes out to you..I can still picture little Maureen's face on the nights I babysat that wild and crazy bunch..I loved every minute of it..Stay strong, Bless you all.. With Love from Debbie McGauley and family
