Maureen

So we have decided you probably do not want to be related to us in any way. Another cousin died - Maureen (Shea) Stelter. She had been ill for some time so it wasn't totally unexpected. Maureen had a gentle soul. Always had something good to say about everyone. She was a wonderful daughter, sister, wife and mother.

Jennifer, Shea and Kevin were so blessed to have such a wonderful woman to be their Mom - I remember how happy she was to have her maternity leave extended - she never did go back - she loved staying home.

Pat and I stopped over a few months ago and she looked so good - we left there hoping she would continue to defy all odds. But it wasn't to be.

This has been a pretty bad couple of weeks - if these haven't made us thankful for the many blessings we have in life then there would be no hope for us. But we are thankful - very tired but very thankful.
