Maureen, David and Eileen,
Your Mom and I met and became very good friends while we were roommates in the hospital in Rochester MN in 1987. We talked well into the night and really "enjoyed" the stay. We have kept in touch all these years and have had some long phone calls. I'll miss my dear friend, but I know she's in a better place and free from all pain. My biggest regret is that I didn't get to make the trip to see her.

John was very glad to have visited Maureen (cousin) and Aunt Sally (just before her passing), and enjoyed exchanging cards at Christmas. My father would like you to know he is thinking of you and is praying for your family.
Sincerely,

Mom and I were so sorry to hear about Maureen's passing. She was a great person who loved to talk and had a great sense of humor. I know you will really miss her as you two were very close. If there is anything we can do, please let us know

David, Maureen and Eileen,

I was so very sorry to read of your loss. I remember your mom as always being so young and blonde and beautiful when we were growing up on the South side. I had no idea you also lost your dad. I am sorry about that, too. I have many fond memories of the Finn family, including your mom and dad. Dave - remember we when we used to cry in the principal's office in 1st grade?!

My deepest sympathy. Thoughts and prayers from an old friend are with you at this time.

My best,

Debbie (Clemmons)

Maureen, David and Eileen; Jill and I will be praying for you all. I always appreciated the way your Mom treated me just like a family member when we were hanging out in high school. I really enjoyed that.

It's my prayer you can cling to hope Christ offers, knowing that you can see your Mom again. (Hebrews 6:18-20)

I love you guys!

Maureen, David, and Eileen; Jill and I will be praying for you all. Your Mom always treated me as though I could just as easily have been her son, which I appreciated during our high school years.

I love you guys!
