Dear Jeff, I am so saddened to learn of Maureen’s passing. I have such fond memories of all the years we worked together at Textron. She was a constant companion on the RIPTA bus ride to work & home each day. She was a beautiful person & I will always remember her big smile and cheery disposition. My thoughts and prayers are sent to you and your family. She is an angel watching over you.
Dear Jeff, no words can express the sadness and shock I felt when I heard about Maureen’s passing. I cherished my time working with Maureen for almost 25 years at Textron. She touched so many people and will continue to look after and bless you and her whole family. In the Greek Orthodox religion, we wholeheartedly believe that passing is just a temporary separation from our love ones and that one day we will all be reunited with them. I pray that the love that surrounds you from family and friends at this difficult time helps in some small way. I am currently in Florida so could not attend the services yesterday; but please know that you and your whole family are in my thoughts and prayers. May her memory be eternal.
After leaving Maureen’s funeral yesterday, it is still hard to believe she has passed away. I worked with Maureen (Moe) for 25 years at Textron and her workstation was just outside of my office. Always loved talking to Moe about next adventures, her Disney trips and just life in general. And yes, she was always smiling although on those crazy days the smile may have been through gritted teeth! Besides being a good friend she was a great work colleague.You would be hard pressed to find a more competent professional person than Moe. My deepest condolences to Jeff and Moe’s family.
Dear Jeff. My deepest condolences on Maureen’s passing. I cried when I heard the news and I hadn’t seen her in years! That’s the kind of impact your wife had on the people who were fortunate enough to cross paths with her at Textron. I remember her infectious smile, love of Disney and wanting to be a pit crew “lollipop man”. I hope your cherished memories bring you some comfort in your grief as well. She was a truly good person who will be greatly missed.
Dear Jeff, sending heartfelt sympathy to you at this most difficult loss. Although I’ve never had the pleasure of meeting your wife Maureen, by all reports her untimely passing will indeed leave a lasting impact on those who loved her.
May your strength of faith and good times spent together bring you some degree of comfort at this most difficult time of grief.
May she be resting in the arms of angels!

Flynn family…..I’m so sorry to read of Maureen’s passing. Maureen and I hung out in junior high school and when we lived in the same neighborhood, she on Sprague Street and me on Joyce Ann Drive. I have fond memories of that time, and remember Maureen as being very sweet and kind. RIP in sweet eternal peace, Maureen.
