My condolences to Mrs Wasko's family, and especially to Morgan Casey, who is the only relative that I had met. I was Mrs Wasko's Meals on Wheels volunteer driver, and she would always wait for me outside with her bag, and with a smile and a word. She adored her little dog Sophie. I visited her in Hospital, and also at the Nursing home when she was ill. Rest in peace Mrs Wasko.
