I was so sorry to read of your mom's passing in the News-Item. I am originally from Shamokin and, back in the 1980s, my mother, Mary Hack, ran for County Treasurer as a Democrat. Because of that campaign, our whole family got to know your mother -- she was a tireless campaigner and cheerleader for my mom. I like to think of them both up in heaven, reminiscing about the good ol' days.
