To the whole Maguire family, my deepest condolences, mom looked great , too many years have passed but her picture brought back many memories. She’s with her love John now smiling down on us all .
I am so sorry to hear of Nana Maguire’s passing. She was a wonderful and fun lady who welcomed me like one of her own grandchildren.
John, I always recall how kind and understanding your Mom was when I’d see her during our Cub Scout days…..64 years ago. Condolences to you and your family.
Hellen will be remembered as a wonderful neighbor.
Condolences to all of you.
May she Rest In Peace.
Sad and happy at the same time. I just liked being near her. She always radiated love and kindness. I thank her for taking time to have lunch with me when I worked nearby. During those tough times she was an isle of calm. I’m happy that she’ll be reunited with Uncle John and her family, sad that we have lost the last of that generation, and a prime example of the virtues of that generation. We’ll miss her, but continue to remember and love her.
John and family, heartfelt condolences for your loss. Tom and Angela

Aunt Helen…you were a very classy lady and loved by all the family. Thank you for the support and inspiration you gave me in my younger years and the love you gave in my older years. Thank you for the love you shared with our extended family, Cousins Maguire…you had a wonderful mother and she left behind a wonderful family of children, grand children and great grand children– a life well lived.

My friend, I know it hurts. Yet Helen is about to be in a better place for which we mortals can only hope. Know she will be met by an Honor Guard ( yea, they’ll be Marines) standing at the gates to receive her soul.
Blessings to the Maguire Clan.
