Jennifer Dickinson
Oh my goodness, it is only now that I've found out about Maura's passing and I am so, so sorry to hear this. She was on my mind all day today even though I hadn't seen her since about 1969. As soon as I saw this photo of her, I recognized her immediately although she wore her hair just a bit differently in the late 60s. I worked with Maura at Vepco in Richmond, Va, at the old 7th and Franklin building and she knew me then as Jenny Crouch. She was terrific in every way, always smiling, always a whoop of laughter and as outgoing as could be. She and I had birthdays a week apart, mine being April 12th, so both of us were Aries girls with a huge love of animals and a real joy for a good joke. I thought she was amazing and I was so glad to know her. I can still see her sitting across the desk from me, listening to a customer on the phone, sometimes trying not to fall over laughing but always a super employee, and best of all, a super friend. "Maura" was a stupendous name, but what she really was was a "Sunny". Can you see it? Glowing all the time. I know she will be forever missed.
