    Will never forget that she made me my favorite Hungarian meal a few years ago during one of my visit to Pittsburgh - Kocsonyas, (jellied pigs feet). I ate every bowl of it that she made that evening, as an appetizer and then finished with a dinner that Maryanne made. I saved a bowl of kocsonyas for breakfast the next day. I will miss her. It just will not be the same anymore. A wonderful lady that cannot be replaced and I can't make kocsonyas.

    Honey was my Mom's sister and thus my aunt. She was a bundle of laughter and energy and would always signal me out as I grew up and made me feel important and loved. She had 3 sons of her own and married her first love and the love of her entire life, Uncle John. Together they forged a long stable marriage that endured WWII , and together, they personally built their home of choice with out any contractor's assistance. Honey was the ultimate homemaker and cook and seamstress had this knack of making me laugh with her. I never heard her complain and her cheerful attitude was contagious. She really was the last of the Mohicans for our clan, Her life was full of happiness, sadness and hopes and all the things that accompanies life. She did it all with dignity and a loving spirit. She now joins with her deceased brothers and sisters . They waited a long time for this reunion. Our loss is their gain. Thank you Honey for being part of my childhood as I grew up. Love. Tircho

    Helen was a lovely, multi-talented, caring, charitable and kind woman who valued her immediate and extended family with the highest of care and concern. She wanted the best for all of us and would help in any to facilitate that end. I was lucky to have her as my mother-in-law, always available for counsel and support. May her memory be a blessing to all of us! Most sincerely, Sheila Dinardo

    I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your mother. She was a wonderful neighbor for many years, and I always enjoyed our conversations "across the wall" in our backyards. Beth "Buffy" Horbiak
