I graduated with Maureen from St. Sabina's in 1958, and sat next to her throughout 8th grade. I guess that Sister Mara thought that Maureen''s good work and good conduct would rub off on me.Things don't always work out as planned.Would a truly nice person who is in my prayers. So sorry for your loss.
