So sorry to hear that this very special person has passed! As their teacher, "Miss Maureen" was the very first person to instill a lifelong love of dance in each of my three daughters at a very early age!
She is truly unforgettable! Sending love and prayers to her family from The Entire Lucas Family all over the world! We are so very sorry for your loss.
Dance On, Miss Maureen!

John and Don I am so sorry to hear of your mom's passing. You may remember me as Diane Messina, your neighbor on Harrison Street. Your mom was a very special person to me growing up. She was sweet and kind and a great teacher. I have many wonderful memories of her.
