Remember that your
loss is shared
By many friends who care
And that you're in our
thoughts and hearts
And in our every prayer

Maisie was the kindest, most gentle, caring person we have ever known. We were so sorry we didn't get to see her the last time we were up. She will be truly a loss to everyone.

I met Maisie only once, while doing genealogy research of the McWilliams family, I was glad to have had the chance to meet her and talk with her, and sad to know that a close relative lived 15 miles me all my life and I never knew it. My heartfelt sympathy to her family for their loss.
