Margaret thanked all who had worked on the garden including, Kathryn Practor, SLAM Landscape Architect and Tony Palmer Landscaping who installed the garden, also thoughtfully thanking Maura’s friends at the Y who swam and raised funds to help build the garden and continue to honor her with an annual swim meet. Bill spoke of their Y dedication and how the swim team helped to shape the character of their boys and Maura’s brother Ed told stories of her strength and tenaciousness.
Please stop and take a break from the day by sitting on the bench inscribed with a plate that says “No Surrender XOXO” which is a special saying they shared all shared with Maura.
