Dear Mag and Family,
I was so very saddened to learn of your dear mother's passing. She was such a lovely, lovely lady, and I will lovingly hold her in my heart always... I will remember her expansive insight and intellect that imagined limitless pathways for us though we may have understood only one for ourselves. I can still hear her emphatically admonishing us, "You do not have to get married!" During that same conversation, your mom told me that one of her professors (I think it was Richard Ellers) had been so impressed with one of her essays that he called her at home to tell her so. She was sure one smart woman. I also remember that she drove home from work late one night on a flat tire. She was one feisty lady. I recall that she took ballroom dancing lessons after she retired, and I remember sitting near her at church a number of years ago hearing her melodiously sing in perfect pitch! She was probably in her late 70's then! Your mom was one talented woman who graced the world with the gift of her goodness, her intelligence, her wisdom, her courage, her kindness, her integrity...and her extraordinary children, especially one who has been my treasured lifelong friend.
Thank you, Mrs. Donovan, for the gift of your life, and for the gift of Maggie.
With deepest sympathy,
Judi Egan

I remember Maggie with the beautiful voice. She was a loved member of the St Bridget Resurrection Choir and when we're able to return to Mass again she will be missed.
