More than a decade now that your folks are gone, Nick, Michael, Mary Lynn. But they live on in the hearts of all who knew them. Hugs to each of you.

It was just recently that I learned Mary passed away in December. Now to hear about Nick.... My deepest sympathy to all the family. The Masciotras were very good friends of my parents, Bill & Helen Reichert. All part of the Katz Corner School neighborhood. Wonderful neighbors who always pitched in when needed. May they all now be back together in heaven -- cooking, partying, playing cards, eating Mary's yummy little yellow plums.... I'll remember them all til my dying day: the Masciotras, Abels, Willises, Dick Wagoner, Browns, Schmaltzes, Ziemses, Grants, Johnsons, the list goes on & on. Great people all!
Love from Cookie Reichert Wherry
