Maureen:
I miss you very much! As you used to say, "we're miles apart but close at heart." The memories I have remind me how lucky I was to have had a sister like you. We shared a common thread with people, years and experiences, especially on St Patrick's Day: the Irish Club dinners; the Irish step dancers; the bagpipes playing; and the famous parade in Cleveland, are just some of my favorite memories!!
Our relationship was precious and lasting. You brought love and caring, kindness and compassion into my life. My kids and grandchildren loved seeing you and hanging out together. You were there when I needed you and I always thought I was there for you as well. Yes, Maureen we lived our own lives so far apart, but we always stayed connected. I will miss you and the relationship that carried us through both the valleys and the victories! Peace!
Your loving sister,
Julie
