Dear Kathleen and Patti. I just read about your loss. Losing a sister is a deep hurt, which takes time to heel. Prayer is the only way, I found, to take some of the pain away. Thinking about you two ladies.
Maureen was a special friend to me in our EvansvilleCollege days in the early 60s. She enjoyed all her charity work , sorority and education experiences here ,AND her good performances in EC Theatre!
I am glad she remained my friend .
In later years before moving to Asheville ,

Dear Kathleen and Patti,
My wife Mary and I read with sadness about Maureen’s death December 30, 2023. She was active for several years at our parish – St. Mary Church here in Evansville. Always lively with a smile on her face. May she be at peace. Sincerely, David A. Bower
