Art,Jeanine,Richard,Billy,James & family,
Our hearts go out to you in this time of sorrow.
More than neighbors, we are good friends & -“family”. Maureen was such a special person.
She was like a second Mom to me. I welcomed her
wisdom, comfort, and guidance. We looked forward
to our visits. Maureen will be greatly missed. Always in our thoughts and heart. May she rest in eternal peace. May God comfort your all in this difficult time.
For Art and the Stossel Family, we met so many years ago living next door to my parents. Maureen was so much a part of our family, and my parents looked forward to celebrating birthdays, anniversaries, and holidays with all of your family. Maureen was truly blessed on this earth with family and friends, and she will continued to be blessed in heaven. May you be blessed during your time of sorrow.
Maureen was a devoted catechist for me many years ago and I am so grateful for her dedication to her Faith and the children. Hers was a life well lived. May she be welcomed in to Gods eternal love. My sympathy to her entire family at this sad time. May God sustain you with His embrace
She is gone but will never be forgotten, we will miss her.
Our family is keeping your family in our prayers. We have good memories of all the kids growing up in the old neighborhood. It was a special time and Maureen was a special lady.
While we only met Maureen and Artie in February
2011 while on vacation in St. Thomas, USVI, we
kept in touch and became good friends. We did
visit them twice this year, last time in August
for Maureen’s Birthday. Little did we know this would be her last one. She made us feel as though we had known them forever. We also met
many family members this last trip and we are
really going to miss her and wish Artie and the
family our deepest condolences at this time of
grief in their lives. We are with them in spirit
I’ve known you, Artie, and Maureen for a little more than those 48 years. Thank you for that long friendship which continues with you on earth and Maureen with the Lord.
God bless!
Fr. Tom

We are so sorry for your loss. Even though we hadn’t known each other very long, she made us feel like we had been family forever. Always smiling and so happy! She truly loved her family more than anything. May you find comfort in loving memories. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of the family.
