Dear Carol Ann Joan, Gary and Aunt Joan, my heart goes out to all of you on the death of your Mom and sister. She was such a wonderful person and lifelong friend who never failed to stop and talk when we occasionally ran into each other over many decades. I read the obit in the Catholic Witness as I have been out of Shamokin since 2003.
Sis had a special place in my heart since you and I were kids Carol. May she Rest In Peace.
I would love to see you Carol are you still near Philly? With love, Mary Lou Kutz Lebo

Aunt Sis,
Thank you for all you did for me as I was growing up. You always were supportive and made some of the best cookies around. My friends all over the world loved them from France to Afghanistan. You were definitely a central part in our family and will be missed beyond words. For me, you were always loving and a pillar in my youth. Passing no judgment and just being there to listen. You always had a kind word and would go to the enth degree to help. In my adult years you were equally kind to my children. I thank you for that. Please rest in peace and know that you will be loved always.
Peter Hanson and Family
