We Get Letters
It’s Amazing What We Get for Our Money
Whenever I tell a prospective member about our ranch, it
reminds me how fortunate we all are to live here. Moving
here from Colorado in 2009 was the best move I ever made.
Just imagine, for less than $100 a month, we have the use of
thousands of acres of woods- our roads are safe for strolls,
hiking, biking, etc., for kids of all ages. Magnificent scenery,
fishing, hunting, archery, shooting, swimming, volleyball,
softball, winter sports, and playgrounds for the little ones.

Oliver, and Lyra. Aunt Maureen “Mickey” also survived by many
nieces and nephews. Predeceased by her sons Michael and
Matthew, grandson Daniel Butler, son-in-law Lenny Dawson, and
grand daughter-in-law Lori Dubois.
Faith and family were her passions. Deeply invested in other
people, she was caring, courageous and curious. There really aren’t
enough words to describe this incredible Irish woman, but a few
include: strong, compassionate, loving, funny, faithful friend,
non-judgmental, kind, mischievous, persevering, intelligent, great
listener, beautiful, practical, simple, interesting, high integrity,
charismatic and humble. Our matriarch is our hero.
Maureen and Bob were long-time residents of Canada Creek
Ranch, where they built their dream home and welcomed many
family and friends over the years.
Memorial Mass Saturday, October 13 at Our Lady of LaSalette
Church 2600 Harvard Road, Berkley, Michigan, at 11am with
visitation beginning at 9:30am. Maureen’s final resting place will
be at St. Paul’s Catholic Cemetery in Onaway, in the family grave
site.
Death is not the extinguishing of the light. But the blowing out of a
candle, because the dawn has come.
