To the Family of Aurelia Husnik,
Please accept my heartfelt sympathy on your loss. Aurelia and I became friends and colleagues at Eli Whitney a long time ago. She was always ready to help if needed, but she also sought advice from her co-workers.
She was known as a tough teacher, but she had a very soft spot in her heart for her family, friends, and her students. I will always remember, Aurelia, as my good friend. I am sure that she is now happy in the hands of God.

To the Family of Aurella Husnik
I remember Aurella as a hard worker Reading Specialist at Eli Whitney School. She was a friend to all, free from deceit, and met all with a kindly smile. She was there for all who needed help. She was always busy,but yet took the time out for words of encouragement. To the family, I want to express my sincere sympathy. Her memory will ever live in the hearts and minds of all of us who knew her. May you be comforted by God.
