With her group of friends known affectionately as “the Mauraders” there is no doubt there are many card games and Hooley’s (Irish Celebrations) going on in Heaven. Until her passing, Mum continued to make life-long “best friends.” During her recent hospitalizations in Rooms 501 and 513 at the Lawrence General Hospital, the nurses and staff there treated her like family. Thank you all. We also want to share her appreciation and the deep emotion we feel, for all the fun, love, care and friendship Mum enjoyed with the nurses, staff and residents at Wingate Andover, these last two years. The family will miss our visits to Room 210 and the shared hours of fun and frolic in the lounge. We treasure the memories of the happy times at Mum’s Wingate “home.” You made her last years wonderful. We love you!
