Pat,
My mother and I were so sorry to hear about the passing of your mom.
Both of us offer our sincere condolences. I wish we could have paid our
respects, but we only learned of her passing when we saw it in the
bulletin at church this past week. She was a special lady and will be
missed. Our deepest sympathy to you and your brother

Patricia and Mike.This is Gene Siesky. I was saddened to hear of your mother's passing. My mother married your uncle Tom in March of 1965. I met your mother for the first time that summer. She immediately welcomed me and my brother Greg into the family. I remember her taking us bowling at that first meeting. (My first time bowling.) Patricia you were also there and teased me about wearing white socks. (After that I asked my mother to quickly buy me black socks.) Your mother also bought us passes for the Dormont pool. I had #1 and Greg had #2. She and Glady were great ambassadors of the Nist family. I am fortunate to have known her.
