I am so sorry to learn today of Maudell's passing. I only became friends
with her after Paul Charles' death. She
was such a sweet person. I know she has
to be in Heaven with the Lord and her
husband. The Lord will give you the
strength to bear it. I know there is
such heartache in losing one's mom.
God will be with you to get you through
it. Please tell Alex I am so sorry about his grandmother.
With my deepest sympathy,
Gary Fleming (Paul's grandmother)

Anne and Gary, I can only imagine how you feel as my partner lost her mom 3 weeks ago. Your mom always made me smile. I loved the way she "whispered" my name three times making it sound like "Jew-dee". Loved the times in the "project housing with her on vacations too! That is where she taught me how to cut my first whole chicken! Loved her gentleness!

Gary, Anne and families --
I am sorry that I was unable to personally convey my deepest sympathy to you all. Maudell (and Vince) were delightful people who shared their Catholic faith in a true and loving manner and enriched our lives. My husband Jack and Vince carpooled to and from Chevton for many years. May God bless you during this time of loss.

I am greatly sadden at the passing of Maudell Saurage Greco. I extend my sincere condolences to all her family and friends.

November 11, 2010

Maudell was a beautiful person and I enjoyed working with her and her husband at Chevron many years ago. Her kindness will be sadly missed. She used to kid Vince and I about being two of only four Jesuit grads in the entire company. Please extend my sincere condolences to the entire Greco and Saurage families. Will Billon
