Her Life: May 14, 1963-February 14, 2009
My sister and I were only 17 months apart. We grew up as crazy sisters in NY.....doing all the crazy things girls do. Her untimely death in a tragic car accident on Valentines Day 2009 really made me think about life and choices we make and how in an instant our lives can change forever. I am so very grateful for having known her as long as I did. She was just 45. Its a loss I cannot describe in words. A terrible loss inside my heart that will never go away, but I do know she is in a better place and I know one day we will see each other again and I can tell her all the things I didnt get a chance to say......Maureen was the most generous, kind person I have known. She would have given you her only dollar, which she had done many, many times for all sorts of people, even those she didnt know. She leaves behind two beautiful daughters, whose father died last year as well. This is a very sad time for our family but I wanted to share her photos and memories so everyone can be reminded how precious life is and how if we all lived our lives as if it was our last day on earth...well, this earth would be a much better place to live...
