I'm so sorry for the loss of your beautiful mother. I have wonderful memories of being at your home on Spruce as a child with my parents, visiting, and having dinners with your parents. And, what wonderful reliable service at the Tollgate station. My prayers are with you as you memorialize your mom today, as she enters her Eternal Home.

I had many quick interactions with Mrs Stabile way back when I worked at TollGate for 3 years. She always treated me kindly and always said my name. This is sad for me. Prayers for the family.

Sharing my condolences to friends from Canonsburg. I grew up in Canonsburg and remember spending fun days playing with Marilyn and all the neighbors around Hawthorne school. I also remember my Dad taking our cars to Tollgate gulf station for repairs! Eventually both of my parents became residents of country meadows as well. While visiting them there, I recognized Mrs Stabile's name and began also visiting with her. She was a very sweet lady. I remember meeting some of her family while she was there. May you all find peace in your memories of your Mom and accept my sympathy at this difficult time.
Carol Terry...I lived up the road on Thornwood Drive, and my parents were Russ & Alice DiSibio.
