Tim, Connie and Dan,
I am so sorry for your loss. I will remember what a positive attitude your mother always displayed. She had a smile and a kind word for everyone.
I am truly honored to have known her.
Hi, I worked at South St. Marys Street Elementary School in the special Ed department. I was a new young teacher. Your mom was so kind to me. Any chance I would get, I would stop in the office for a chat with her. I will never forget her kindness even though I moved after teaching there for 2 years and I haven’t seen her since. May she Rest In Peace. Mary Aiello
To all the Families,
So sorry for your loss.
You all are in our thoughts and prayers.
With Deepest Sympathy,
Dean, Mary, & Ryan Hanes
