To the Hohenwarter family,
I was so sorry to hear about Regina’s passing. I didn’t know her, but we are related on my mother’s side. My mother was Mary Anna Hohenwarter, married to Jim Lombardo. Her parents were Michael and Frances Hohenwarter. I will prayer for your family and light a candle for Regina at mass on Sunday.
