Our hearts are with you all. Sad for losing a dear Mother and glad to have her at peace and in heaven. She was remarkable as she is one of the reasons for such a beautiful bunch! Know that Vince and Sharon, Maureen & Jim's families are so glorious because of her and her influences. God bless and hold you all. We are with you. We care. Much love, Sam & JoAnn Cutrara

Maureen Dalton

March 14, 2003

Our Mom was the best. I have such fond memories of our family life with she and Daddy. They gave of themselves entirely to Mick, Sharon, Pat and I so that we would all have good lives. As Grandma, she was so loved and her little great-grandkids just thought she was so neat. She always had a smile for them along with her little box of toys she kept for them. Her friends at Franciscan Village have commented on what a nice, pleasant woman she was. Aunt Dorothy survives her and will miss her little sister very much. Personally, I will miss her so much as she has always been there to love, listen, reassure, and comfort during the many battles Jim Dalton faced before his death on January 28th. I just know that Mama, Daddy, Pat, and Jim are all smiling down on us now saying "hang in there Maureen, you will get through this tough time". My family will always remember my Mom as a very, very special woman.
