    A little note to remember Carol...All the songs she use to sing to the neighborhood kids on Diller Avenue are fondly remembered. She had such a beautiful voice and enjoyed her playing the piano in your living room....Thank you Mrs. Psyk for the memories.....Suzann and Cindy Rubinsak

    Thank you, Mum, for seeing to it that I grew up safely and had a chance to succeed in life. Thank you for opportunities like the "How and Why Wonderbooks", trips to Phipps Conservatory, Carnegie Museum, and Todd Sanctuary. The encouragement to attend, and finish, a degree at Penn State. Thank you for not letting me play after school until the homework was finished. And for washing my muddy, dirty clothes after building dams and tree houses in the woods. I'll always remember the family vacations that you organized at the "very basic" cottage in Nags Head and the wonderful times at Deep Creek. Thank you for being a mother who never stopped caring for, and connecting with, her children throughout our lives. Love, Eddie
