Mom loves getting in the trenches and playing with the kids. The photo is of Maureen Krasner with our children Devon and Harrison, all of whom live in Grosse Pointe Farms. Whether we're hiking, biking, picking blueberries, playing in the sand or relaxing at home, Maureen (Mo, Mom) is happy wherever we are as a family. A phenomenal mother, wife and friend, she's always ready to dig in for fun and adventure.
