Our dear Maurie :- so many memories of time spent with my Grandma whom was especially fond of Maurie. You were so brave Gwen phoning to let me know of Maurie's passing - I thank you again for taking the time to do this. You certainly sounded much more able than me in the same situation.
Still thinking of you Gwen Love Faye
