Well …where do I start? Mrs Maureen was a beloved Neighbor of my grandparents for 40 years. She was a calm and welcoming presence to anyone in the neighborhood. I eventually became her neighbor too. Mrs Maureen was a trusted friend and who kept everyone updated on current events and news we may have missed. Lol I will miss that about her. She was there when me and several cousins were born and supported all of us along the way. She gave cards, money, food, baby shower gifts and handmade blankets. She helped us during our family’s season of caregiving multiple times. Most of all I appreciate her being a listening ear for my grandmother all these years. I will miss hearing her name on the phone when she called, seeing her car back out the driveway and fly down the street, knocking on our door and offering us food. She took care of us all and was a resilient woman who never let her burdens way her down. She was there through EVERYTHING. We all are going to miss you so much lady. Thank you for EVERYTHING! We Love you and our street will never be the same without you. Rest In Peace….
