Condolences Mary, Ted, Bobby, Kathy and families, so sorry to hear of your mom's passing because a truly great woman has left this world. A fighter who beat the odds, she was ahead of her time - a working mom in the 50's & 60's, she found time to take care of a "village" of kids. I don't think there was a day that went by that she didn't lend a helping hand or speak well of someone. We all have our favorite side-splitting "Mrs. Mooney stories" imbedded into our memories. She taught us it's okay to laugh at yourself and let things roll off your back - maybe the secret to her longevity. Her riches were all of you, her precious children, grandchildren and families. Remember all the good times and celebrate her wonderful life. God bless all of you. Marian (Smeraldo) Allegrino

Mar 31, 2003 Hi all. Bad news . My Mother just told me she read in the Star-Ledger that Sr. John passed away. I guess it was today's paper, March 31st. Patty Walsh Robinson, Class of 1973 |

When I read in the paper about the passing away of our dear Sister John Maureen, many thoughts entered my mind. Most of all her kindness. Sister John was my favorite nun. She had a lot of compassion and love for her children. I wish I could have seen her before her death to tell her how much I cared for her and always felt very loved and important in her class. She was truely the best in my book. I'm sure there are many more that feel the same. Now we have another angel in heaven to look after us and pray for us. GOD BLESS YOU SISTER JOHN MAUREEN Linda Flavell Thomas, class of 1962 |

Sister John Maureen I am not an alumnus of OLAS but of Blessed Sacrament -- on the other side of East Orange. Sister John Maureen was my sixth grade teacher at Blessed Sacrament. Since my defunct grammar school does not have such a fine alumni website, I thought that I might share a few thoughts about Sister John with her OLAS students. Without a doubt Sister John was my very favorite teacher. I remember her warmth, her kindness, her genuine concern for her students, her wonderful sense of humor, her smile, her towering 6'2" stature, and, of course, her love of both music-especially Harry Belafonte-- and Notre Dame football. If Notre Dame won on Saturday we were homework-free on Monday. Some dozen year later, by one of those fortuitious coincidences, I had a second opportunity cross paths with Sister John Maureen. This time, however, she was Sister Dorothy Harkins. As it turned out, we were both graduate students at the University of Notre Dame ( She was in religious education; I was in mathematics.) At last, she could finally watch her beloved Notre Dame football team in person. During her year at Notre Dame I got to know her all over again. I once again marveled at what remarkable nun and truly wonderful woman she was -- and she was quite a good cook too. I hope that more of her students will share their memories, thoughts and stories about Sister John Maureen. She made a difference. Ralph Bravaco |

May 17, 2003 Sr Maureen was nothing more then a Saint on Earth. She was not your typical nun "GO NOTRE DAME" I was so glad to speak with her at the All Souls reunion in 1989. She was without a doubt a Nun/Woman/Frend/and a true influence on so many lives. As Linda F. said we have another looking out for us from above!! I don't have to say God Bless you, or Rest in Peace. Sr Maureen, put in a good word for us from above! JIM. James (JIM) Giblin, Class of 1962 |

Apr. 17, 2002 My sister Mary Rossetti directed me to this site and you wouldn't believe the waves of great memories that swept over me. The last people I remember seeing from our class ('56) were Hank Rogers, 10 years ago, and Roger Riggs, probably 30 years ago. After All Souls, I went to Clifford Scott H.S. then to William Paterson U. (then known as Paterson State College)graduating in '60. Then to U. of Virginia Graduate school of Education. Became sales representative for The Upjohn Co. in NYC, then began a career in medical marketing and advertising with J. Walter Thompson, then to Young & Rubicam. Was transferred to Sydney Australia for 5 years, and then to Chicago. Then joined two colleagues in opening our own "shop". Was married in 1967, to Sue Daly from West Orange, and we had three wonderful children (Laura, Scott, and Holly). Sadly, Sue passed away in 1991. I was very fortunate to find a wonderful woman, Mary Jane, my yellow rose of Texas.She has four sons and we married in 1994, and are currently living on Skidaway Island, just outside of Savannah, Ga.

Janice and I lost our "big brother" last night to cancer. He was diagnosed in late August and although his battle was brief it was fought with such bravery. His wife and youngest daughter were his caregivers and the rest of us prayed a great deal. God took him in peace. Mary Melba Robinson-Rossetti <jerzey@bellsouth.net> Oct. 16, 2002
