I knew Mrs. Haseltine because I grew up with Holly and Robbie. We all lived on the same street and went to the same church. After my Dad died and I was working on his house, I used to take a break and walk up the street to visit her. She was around 88 at the time and still full of energy and vitality. I found it absolutely amazing! She always seemed "on the go". She was a good friend of the family. She will be missed. Marie (Leimer) Weiss

Emily was a joy to know. She a great influence in my childhood and youth. I also used to chat with her when I was living with my dad during the mid 90s. The old 35th street gang always brings back fond memories.
