I am just one person in what I am sure is a large number of people,

that Irene and Dick McCormick have had correspondence with.

They gave of their valuable time and especially Irene, as she would

write and her caring and warm-hearted nature came shinning through

in her e-mails every time.

 

I am not at all surprised with the success of Maureen and her brothers.

Words cannot express the importance of parents that are willing to sacrifice

to help their children to over come the difficulties and challenges

that the world has to offer and to help their children achieve their dreams.

Maureen’s parents are a great example, if more parents would be like them.

 

I have never met Maureen, but I have admired her for many years.

My opportunity to get to know her parents allowed me to understand

why she has her charisma and  always comes across as “very special”.

 

She obviously received that “special trait” from her parents.

I too feel the loss, as I lost a long distance friend that always gave of her time

for me.
