Maureen Mahaney:  

. Our daughter Moira has grown into a beautiful young lady. She is in her last year at college. She attends SUNY-ESF (environmental science and forestry) in Syracuse. She will graduate with a degree in conservation biology. Hopefully she will find employment after graduation somewhere in the world! My husband Mark, has his own dental practice and keeps pretty busy.He is a great father to both of our children. He loves taking Michael to Canisius college basketball games. It's the one sports team in Buffalo that wins! I was diagnoised with Systemic Lupus in 1983. I have had my ups and downs with this disease over the years. I see a specialist at Strong Memorial Hospital in Rochester who is wonderful. I take medication daily which has seemed to keep my Lupus under control.I was also diagnoised with Graves disease several years ago. My body likes these autoimmune diseases I started my own alterations business several years ago and keep quite busy. I also am in a partnership with another woman in Buffalo making " healing blankets" and basically all other occasions.I love doing machine embroidery. I'm thinking of taking up quilting this winter. In the spring and summer Mark and I both enjoy golfing. We take Michael with us. He rides in the cart with me while his dad walks. I really got the golf bug this past year. I golfed 102 rounds!! That's alot considering all the rain we had. I have been blessed with a wonderful family and life. Things just keep getting better as I grow older.".
