Sorry to read of Maureen's death, Charlie. You were both so enjoyable to be with in our Bible Study classes. I've missed her in church since Covid shutdown I am out of town until Tuesday, sad I cannot be at the funeral. She as a devout, knowledgeable and such a kind member of the St Olaf family. Go and rest high on that mountain Maureen. And watch over us all, if that's possible.

I am very sorry to hear of your loss of Maureen. Maureen always had something to offer up in our bible study class in the way of a question or perspective. Great! I always enjoyed working with her when there was a volunteer opportunity at church. Maureen will be missed. - Patsy S.
