Maureen was one of the first people to introduce herself to me 41 years ago at NYT. She was such a caring, kind, loving and selfless person. Tim, you are forever wrapped in the arms of a beautiful angel.

Dear Tim - I worked as a secretary with Maureen, and leave you, and her, with a part of a poem that strikes the heart of the Irish.

"Of all the money that e'er I had
I've spent it in good company
And all the harm that e'er I've done
Alas it was to none but me
And all I've done for want of wit
To memory now I can't recall
So fill to me the parting glass
Good night and joy be with you all"

I am very sorry for your loss. Maureen was one of the nicest people I have ever known in my life. I was the TELCOM rep for DSS and OTDA and frequently had to work with her concerning training of our employees with new phone systems. Everyone she taught loved her because she had such a warm personality and went out of her way to assist them with any problems. I consider myself blessed having known her for over 25 years. She will always have a place in my heart and I will never forget her. I am sure she is now in heaven being rewarded for all the good things she did while here on earth. My prayers are with Maureen and her family during this sad time. May she rest in peace.

While filled with sadness at Maureen's passing, I quickly remember Maureen's wonderful ways. Mo's smile and laugh, her incredible memory for detail that many times helped me remember long ago forgotten moments.
I am thankful for the time I was able to share with Maureen and to be able say she was my former supervisor, but also my wonderful friend.
Tim, may you too find comfort in your memories of your loving wife, best friend and the deep love you both shared every day of your life together.
Our sincerest condolences go out to you.
