Maureen and I worked together in the ER at St. Joseph Hospital. Maureen was our mother figure and always kept us in line with her quick wit. I am richer for having known her. She was kind, generous and a true friend. The first people I saw after awakening from my breast biopsy were Al and Maureen. Al was giving me a "thumb's up" and Maureen was giving me the look that could only mean"see, I told you everything would be OK." Our world is a little colder and emptier without "Mo".

To you all members of the family. Our most sincere condolences. We will keep a deep remembrance for her tenderness and the welcomes we received through the years. We loved her and appreciated her precious advises at the family level as well as professionnal. Her courageous lessons which she so well shown us, will be a consolation and will help us to accept her leaving for another world. We will miss her deeply.
