I worked with Maureen in the "best damn section" in the Department of Revenue--the Excise Tax Section. I remember her as a very good worker, but even more, her tremendous humor. She was a "hoot."

Our condolences at Mo's passing. We loved her no-baloney personality, her sense of humor, her donuts, and her recipe we refer to as "Mo Pasta." Rest in God's peace, Mo.

My condolences to the family. Maureen and Carol were good people and good friends. Some years ago we made a trip with them to New Orleans where her mother lived and worked.

Marty and Mary, I can't imaging how hard this loss is for you. She was an amazing woman who loved all her children with determination and love. She always made me feel warm and welcomed.
