Good morning everyone,
We gather here today to celebrate and honor the life of a truly remarkable woman, Maureen. On behalf of the family, I would like to express our deep gratitude for your presence here today. Your love, support, and condolences mean the world to us, and we are truly touched by the outpouring of compassion from those who knew and loved Maureen.
Before I continue, I'd like to share with you a verse from the iconic song, "Moon River." It held a special place in my mother's heart, and it seems fitting to include it today.

"Moon River, wider than a mile
I'm crossing you in style some day
Oh, dream maker, you heartbreaker
Wherever you're going, I'm going your way"
In these simple lines, we can clearly see the spirit of my mother, Maureen. She was a dreamer, a heart warmer, and a loving companion to everyone she encountered. She had a knack for lighting up any room with her warm smile and her infectious enthusiasm for life.
Maureen was, undoubtedly, a humble woman. She would never boast about her accomplishments or her impact on the lives around her. Instead, she let her actions speak for themselves. She worked tirelessly to ensure her children were brought up with love and care, and she always encouraged us to follow our dreams, no matter where they may take us.
And inspirational, she was. Maureen's indomitable spirit never faltered. She weathered life's storms with grace and fortitude, inspiring us with her unwavering determination and resilience. Her kindness and warmth were not limited to her family alone. Friends and neighbors knew they could always count on her for support, encouragement, and, of course, her famous homemade cookies.
The life of Maureen was, indeed, a beautiful journey. The experiences that she shared with us and the memories that we have created together will stay with us for the rest of our lives. We will remind ourselves of her spirit and her courage, her wisdom, and her love. And as we navigate our way through life, we can take comfort knowing that she is there, guiding us just like the moon guiding the river.
As we say goodbye to Maureen, let us promise to honor her memory by carrying the values that she held dear - love, kindness, humility, and resilience. May we continue in her footsteps, granting her spirit the wings to fly, just as she always dreamed.
In closing, I'd like to share one final verse from "Moon River," which I believe encapsulates her essence and inspires us to embrace our dreams and one another as she did throughout her life.
"Two drifters, off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after the same rainbow's end, waitin' 'round the bend
My huckleberry friend, Moon River, and me."
Thank you, Maureen, for everything you have given to us and for guiding our way.
