So Sorry to your family and especially my Uncle Harry who will miss you dearly. You and Him got along so well. You will be missed. Rest Easy Now.

So many great memories with Moe, Aunt Sal, Uncle Ed, John, Tom, and Mike.
Moe was always so generous with her time and spirit. We remember countless days playing in her room on Button Street while waiting for Easter and Thanksgiving dinner. We loved our trips to the Trailer Park - Moe would take us to get candy, to the movies, swimming in the pool, and cheer us on during the Trailer Park Olympics. In Dennis Port, she'd pack us lunch for a day at Cold Storage Beach and we'd cap the night with a trip to Sundae School Ice Cream.
Sarah, We know so much of your mom's generous and kind spirit was passed on to you. We love thinking about and sharing these great memories - we'll take them with us for life.
With love your cousins,
Matt and Kath

I am truly heartbroken. I have always loved Moe from the moment we met. Always happy and loving and caring with a huge heart. Always willing to help others in any way she could. I have many fond memories of us hanging out and working together. Memories of going to the Cape with Sarah and Tori and the girls being such good friends. I've missed you terribly over the past few years when I had reached out and didn't hear back from you. I knew you were struggling. No more struggles my friend. Just Peace just Peace. Love you Moe ❤

My heart goes out to you Ed, Sally, Tom, John, Michael, and Sarah. Maureen was as sweet as they come - our neighbor for years and a kind and thoughtful babysitter to my boys. Moe was beautiful inside and out. In this earthly life she was an angel and now she is an eternal angel. Sarah, your Mom watches over you now to guide you. I pray for each of you to find comfort and peace. My love goes out to all of you! - God Bless you all, Betsy Fitzpatrick

As children we were the best of friends and would sneak to each others homes at night. Our moms would call each other to find out if we were together. You were my best friend and then our best friend Kim would be included. The three of us as children roamed the neighborhood. Lost touch as most do over the later years but you are an amazing spirit and no longer in pain. My family and yours will always hold special memories in my heart. Fly high and Rest in Peace Moe....
