It is with great sadness we learn of the passing of a true lady Maureen. Maureen was one of a number of people that got us invited to participate in the New York St. Patricks Day parade in 1991. From once we landed in JFK until we left again, Maureen was on hand to help us in any way she could. From a gala dinner to a fabulous concert in Woodside nothing was too much trouble for Maureen. Sincere sympathy to her sons Vincent and Gregory, daughters in law, Christina and Christine, grandchildren, Stephanie, Matthew, Tyler, Erin and the late Cassidy and Drew and also her sister, Nancy Golding and her nieces and nephews.
May she rest in Eternal Peace. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a hanam dílis
