Dear Heather, I just came across your mom's obit and wanted to express my condolences. I am one of the Pittsburgh relatives who would visit once a year with my parents and grandmother (your grandfather Threnhauser's sister Caroline). I feel so badly that we didn't know about your mom's passing until now. Your grandmother and mine always said that your mom and my dad looked so much alike that they could be twins. My dad had freckles like your mom. We always made sure that we visited your mom on our visits. May God bless and keep you and know that your mom is always with you. My dad passed in 2000 and I know he is always there. My email is gemini779@comcast.net Kathleen Schreiner Molcan
