So sorry to hear about Maureen´s passing.
We went to St. John´s School from 1st to 8th grade together, so I knew her well at that time.
We went different ways after that, but I always thought about her every time my brother, Jim said anything about Kevin.
My thoughts and prayers are with all of her friends and family.
