Frances Ann Musolino

Mom thank you for the many happy times we all shared at our homes on Maine Street, Rutledge and especially on Curved Creek. You were a good cook and you always made sure we got to many enjoyable activities and to Church at St. Peter's. Swimming at the Sheridan Swim Club and many other team sports were always a healthy and fun blessing. Thank you also to you and Dad for always encouraging all of us children to reach our full potential by going to college and teaching us the good work ethics to work and pay our way through college. Going on those wonderful family vacations every few years was also a lot of fun. Helping you and Dad with house work, yard work and car and home maintenance were good life lessons we learned from our parents. No allowance we just did what needed to be accomplished, and prayer and thanksgiving were always part of our everyday family life. We were blessed to have two great parents. Thank you for being wonderful Mom. Love your son Christopher
