Mrs. M was a lovely woman who, in her quiet way, set an example for everyone around her. She also raised a caring and thoughtful daughter, Annette, who has meant the world to our family. Even though I cannot imagine what you all are going through right now, I know a part of her will always be in your hearts. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you. With deepest sympathy,
Mariann (Chebatoris) and Carlos Piedrahita, David, Shannon, Christina and Joe

Jo was such a sweet and kind person. I'll never forget when she and Cheri came to visit me at Marian Manor after I broke my hip. She sat with me while I ate dinner. She was a very precious lady, and I will miss her very much.

So sad to see this but oh, what a life she lived!!! I train teachers about children learning social skills - we talk about how children don't have those natural opportunities anymore and I literally say "when I was growing yo, we played kickball in the Mascellino yard every day!! "So many wonderful memories!! What an angel we've gained! Thoughts and prayers to you all!

Cheri & Family,
I was so sorry to hear about your mother's passing. She was such a strong woman in such a tiny body. She always had a warm smile to share and a wave. Your mom, you and your family were such good neighbors. I am so sorry I am unable to get to Pittsburgh to give my condolences in person. Mother sends her love and wanted me to tell you that she will keep you and your family in her prayers. Your mother lived such a long wonderful life. She was able to see the love she gave to everyone reflected in the eyes of her grandchildren, great-grandchildren and her great-great-grandchildren. Talk about making a positive change in the world! You know how much she loved and appreciated you. Should you need anything, even someone to just listen to you, call me. I will be here for you. Judy (Pschirer) Houston & The Pschirer Family
