To the entire Collins Family:
My deepest sympathy in the great and too premature loss of Maureen.  I'll always remember her as such a caring friend and cherished Mercy alumni who deeply loved her family. What a great sister and aunt she was. I admired her for that and much more. I will miss her annual Christmas card. She was a sentimental Irish gal and I loved her. May all the wonderful memories of her that you hold in your heart carry you through this difficult time.    Sincerely, Jane and Dan McWeeny, Fort Myer Fl.

So sorry to hear of Maureen's passing and that I couldn't be there to spend a little time to reminisce and be supportive. I remember working with Maureen and what a generous and supportive person she was. 
May she rest in peace.

Pam Castro and Family

I do believe I was the first to open this guest book and quickly closed it.  Hard to believe I had no words.  I tearfully bid farewell to an extremely generous and kind person.  Maureen was "moe-moe" to me and a very loyal friend to many.  Always there for one in the time of need.  I am thrilled she came to visit us in our new Florida home and we often talked about her next visit...now our visit will be in heaven, where she is resting peacefully getting ready for next ST. PATTY'S DAY. To the entire Collins clan...you have very sincere condolences, lots of love and hugs from SW Florida.. I so wish I could have been there!

To the entire Collins Family, we extend our very sincere condolences on the death of Maureen.  We remember her so fondly from our early days at Sister Lakes, and of course all the good times at St. Denis.  She was such a sweetheart, so kind and sincere to everyone!  Our love and prayers to all.

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of Maureen. My family and the Collins family were good friends for many years when we were kids. I have many fond memories of Maureen, her sinlings and her parents.  I connected with her a little over a year ago on Facebook, before I moved to Florida. We tried to,get together bit it didn't work out. I'm sorry I didn't get to see her. Looking through her pictures made me wish I had tried harder. I would love to hear from one of you when the time is right. So sorry,  Donna (Burns) Moses. 630-776-5352

Diane, and all of the Collins family I wish I could be there in support to you for your loss as you have always been there for me, But rest assured that my heart and my sorrows are with each and everyone of you as you send one of your own to their passage.
