We may only be Worcester, MA and not Hollywood BUT we had our share of "STARS" during the 60s, 70's and 80's and Maureen was one of the brightest! She was beautiful inside and out and was loved by all. As I write this little note it saddens me to see how many "bright lights" have gone to Heaven but truly believe we shall all meet again. May God Bless and keep you Maureen....... Dennis Troy

To Miki's family,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Miki was a friend of my Mom, Sandra Lindsay.

I have many memories of her when I was younger.. playing cards at our house, coming for dinner, giving me make-up samples and beauty advice. I always thought she was beautiful, a kind soul..with a smile and laugh that was so infectious!

Please accept my sincere and deepest sympathies..

Diane,

Miki and I lost contact over the years. I, often times, ran into her down the Cape and we were able to catch-up. But I haven't seen her in a while and had no idea that she was sick.
You and Miki have never been far from my thoughts and have always held a special place in my heart.
My prayers are with you. Keep your memories close, forever.
