Mom, I am so grateful that I was able to have you for 50 years, but wanted many more. Thank you for the visits to the other places I have lived, for all the wonderful childhood memories, and the special moments you shared with my children. Living closer to you is one of the reasons we moved back to Rochester and we now have so many memories from the last 7 years. Happy Mother's Day in Heaven. Love, Carolyn, Tom, Connor, Sean, and Erin

Mr. Hasman, I am so sorry for our loss. I had full intentions to visit you all after my retirement from The Community Place. I loved your wife and she made the lives of many of the children at The Community Place happy as they opened the gifts she so thoughtfully provided and wrapped with her yarn every year at Breakfast with Santa. My prayers are with you and your family. Liz Martin

Hi Mom. Thanks for guiding me the past 40 years. I couldn't have asked for a better mentor. Linda, Sam and Abigail will always think of you when we do some of your favorite things - toasting marshmallows, having Sunday pancakes, and playing UNO. I am also going to "carry your torch" by scheduling some future casino trips in your honor. Rest in peace mom. Love, Tom
