Just wanted to say I heard the news up here in Scranton, Pa. Mrs. Hasircoglu was a gentle and kind woman. I grew up next door to the Hasircoglu family and spent many thousands of hours in their house. She always made me feel welcome with her quiet warmth. I am very sorry for your loss.

My deepest sympathy to the Hasircoglu family, especially Angela, who was a very good friend of mine. I don’t know what it’s like to loose a mother but I know she raised a lovely family and a kind, and caring daughter. Angela, I love you like a sister as well as a good friend. My heart is with you at this moment and always. Love, Kate (Gibbs)Berk and family
Dear Hasiroglu Family- I had the privledge of working with "Mrs. H" a number of years ago at the Centerville Elementary School after school program. She always would laugh when I would try to pronouce her "real" last name. I had many variations and think Pat thorougly enjoyed hearing each one of them. A gentle spirit has been lost and I cannot begin to imagine the depth of your loss. I can only offer my prayers and my sincere hope that when you wrap yourself in loving memories of her that you find comfort. Although gone, she lives on in each one of you. My prayers are with you throughout the coming days.
Love- Diane Black
