Maureen was so many things to so many people. She was a close family friend and my memories include many meals we have shared, countless stories, laughs, and her delicious baklava and stuffed grape leaves. I remember her sense of humor, her wisdom, the attentive way she listened to others, the love she had for her “ever lovin’” husband and her children. As busy as she was, she had a way of making people feel special. She made a beautiful, labor intensive quilt for my husband and me and I feel that it was stitched with love. I will treasure it always as I do the memory of dear Maureen. So thankful she was in our lives.

A late offer of sympathy to the Yazbak family. Maureen was a fun ski buddy, a classmate of mine in a few college classes, and a family friend. She shared her life with her forever love, Dr. Yazbak, and the wonderful family they raised together. Sympathy to the Yazbak family in the loss of your mom, grandmom and great grandmother. She was a tremendous woman with family in her heart. Maureen will be joined with her loving husband in eternity. God Bless you all.

I can't describe how it all comes together but Maureen always appeared to me as a woman who was extremely gifted at capturing the magic in each and everyone of us, who really could, before and ahead of anyone, have access to this magic, in order perhaps to instantly reflect and share this precious finding with everyone around.
