Maureen:

You are truly my angel in Heaven as you were here on Earth.  I will miss you every second of every day, but I know you rest in peace now.  I will feel your warm hugs every time I think of you, I will see your innocent smile with every passing moment, and I will hear your joyous laugh when I think back on the many memories of our time together.  I love you with all my heart and wait for the day we will be sisters laughing together again.  Rest now - I love you, kiddo.

Dear Gallagher Family,

Maureen was my "Special Girlfriend".  We served mass together at Resurrection.  She amazed me with her knowledge of the mass prayers.  She had memorized most all of them  

She was a real inspiration with her loving positive attitude and always made me feel good in her presence.  

May her soul be at rest in the loving arms of Jesus.
Blessings for your family of Peace and all Good.

Patrick McMenamy

I served with Maureen as an acolyte at Resurrection Church in Aptos for about 3 years at the 6:00pm Sunday Mass and came to know her quite well.  I loved her spirit and her smile, her hard work and her love for Fr. Ron.  We always enjoyed one another and worked well together.
I was deeply sorry to hear about Maureen's passing.  She certainly shared her personal kindness and goodness with many people, and she will be deeply missed for sure!

Maureen was such a sweet person.  When I worked in Public Health I would sometimes see her volunteering in the office.  She had a pretty smile and you could see that she felt very secure and much loved by her sister Michelle.

Maureen you will aleays have a very special place in my heart. Anyone who had met you loved you. You made all the little things so very special.  I love you Maureen with all my heart. And I’m going to miss you so much. Your memories will be with me forever until we meet again.  I love you.
