I just wanted to reach out to the O'Brien and Riley family. I went to middle school and high school with her - she was there for me she made me laugh she was such a beautiful person. There is not a single person like her I know today. Everything she ever told me was out of love, everything she ever said was to protect, to cheer up, everything she was was beautiful.

I miss her terribly and I'm so sorry that I did not reach out sooner to you her family. I'm incredibly happy though that I got to talk with her online and spend some time with her. I just have been going through some personal things - she knew about this relationship I was in and how unhealthy it was for 10 years - now that I'm out of -

she really guided me with my thoughts..

It's crazy because with life you know you become so busy. we're all trying to be safe, keep jobs.. It's just been chaos for all of us

- and I literally today just was thinking to myself what am I going to do. What is all this worth? Is my music worth it? is my dedication showing? - am I not going to find love again. I've been on an emotional roller coaster. I suppose..

I may be a metal head but I do pray and you know I'm always in that state of mind nowadays. It's just crazy though, cuz I heard her in my heart - her voice tell me you know " Common stop worrying so much - you're going to be good.. - Everything will work out okaay" Hah. I feel silly saying this.. It was incredibly random. There's not a day that I don't think about her.. and I hope this is all okay say to you.. But wow I actually love her deeply.

She was always there for me - totally cried together laugh together protected each other from stupid kids in the school - like I said I don't think I can find a true friend like her today.

I hope that you and your family are safe in these pandemic times. truly my condolences. I'm sorry I did not reach out sooner.

Love

J

Colleen and family I was so sorry to hear about your daughter. You’re in my prayers

So sorry for your loss

Colleen I am so very sorry for your loss as well as the rest of the family. We are sending Love, Hugs and prayers to all of you.

I was saddened to hear of Maureen's passing. We saw each other often when she was working at Shop Rite. She adored her nephews. She loved being an aunt. I will miss her gentleness and warm smile. So sorry for your loss Kelly.

My deepest condolences to Colleen and Kelly.

My deepest condolences to your family for your loss. Maureen was a sweet and kind young woman that I knew very well from high school as we graduated the same year and worked at Shop Rite in Bound Brook together as well. My prayers are with you all.

My sincere sympathies to Maureen's family.. I knew Maureen as a student in NPHS where she made friends and became a part of the North Plainfield community.. She overcame many obstacles in her short life and displayed grit and determination through it all.. May she be an inspiration to us all.. xox

Colleen, Kelly & family, our hearts are heavy with this loss, but we hope that our prayers will uplift you during this difficult time. Maureen will always be remembered for her strength, courage and dignity, her gentle spirit and sweet smile. We pray that she is enjoying a heavenly reunion with her daddy and grandparents, my dad, and so many others who knew and loved her. Until we meet again for that great big Trivia game above...God bless you, Maureen!

I don’t know what to say I think I’ve said it all already Maureen was a great person I loved the time we got to spend with her she’ll be greatly missed. Our condolences to the entire family .
