I did not know Hank personally, but through my sister Krissy Muscarella, I got to know her. What an incredible woman. I know what she did to make my sister's world a better place. I know that she is up in heaven sitting with Our Lord - sharing her wisdom and giving her advice. My thoughts are with her family at this time.

How do I even begin to write in words how your mom has touched my very soul. I will forever hear her giggle, and feel her warmth. I will be forever grateful for the opportunity to become a part of your lives. She will never be forgotten...
I love you guys.. Krissy
