Can’t put into words how much Maureen will be missed. She could always light up a room with her smile. If it was Tuesday nights on the green for the summer concerts or one of our famous get together Lawlor lunches, I could always count on her for laughs. She was one of our biggest fans on Facebook and always told us how sweet our comments were towards each other. I will miss her dearly. Sending love to Ralph, Linda, Carolyn , Brian and all my other cousins

After my 3rd pulmonary embolism in 2003, I was diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis and I read that people usually die within 5 years. My specialist has me on blood thinners, prednisone and other steroids that I inhale daily. October 2006 I decided to go with natural treatment and was introduced to Green House Herbal Clinic natural organic idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis Herbal formula, i had a total decline of symptoms with this pulmonary fibrosis Herbal formula treatment. The infections, shortness of breath, fatigue, dry cough and other symptoms has subsided. Somehow, the herbs managed to keep me alive for 13 years.Visit Green House Herbal Clinic official website I have had great improvement with my over all respiration with this product and i breath very much easier, i can never be thankful enough to nature
