"I cannot find the words that would truly comfort Maureen's family and her friends. My late daughter Holly Marie and Maureen were friends, as well as teammates on the Harrison Girl's track team. I remember Maureen and Holly riding with her teammates to Clemson South Carolina for spring track conditioning in a multi van convey (I was one of the van drivers). They had such a great time there, and they created a bond of friendship that lasted a lifetime for both. Maureen was and still is a very special person in Holly's and my life. I will keep their memory alive in my heart and in my soul for all my life. Holly's Dad, Steven Kish"
