Emily was my first cousin. Her mother, Cecile (Petro) Hanzlik, was the youngest sister of my father, Tilson Petro. Because of our shared interest in Petro family history, based mostly on the fantastic Petro family stories preserved by her mother, Emily and I have enjoyed sharing new information we have found about our Petro family heritage. We do remember that Emily suffered a stroke about two years ago and that her health has been on the decline. May her sons, Barry and Bruce, their families and her friends be comforted by their many wonderful memories of Emily and by the knowledge that she has left a lasting legacy of love and caring for others. Peace, John and Joyce Petro, john@petroclan.com

We are so sorry for your loss. I remember how much “trouble” your folks and ours would get into as part of the church group they belonged to at Trinity. Even through all the years your mom never changed. We saw her at Dad’s celebration of life a year ago. She was so full of hugs and love for us. May she now Rest In Peace.
