Brief History

April 1, 2015

Our mother, Agatha Carmella Pistorio was named after her grandmother, but liked to be called "Tina". She was born on 1945 in Washington DC and there until the age of 4-1/2 when the family then moved to Forest Heights, MD where she grew up. She attended Oxon Hill High School. Shortly after, mom moved into an apartment in Washington DC with some girlfriends. That is when she met our father, Michael Horwat who lived in the same building.

By the age of 23 they were married, began having children and had moved into a home in Fort Washington, MD. Mom raised my brothers and I and was a stay at home mom until we were all old enough to attend school. She then went back to work as an executive secretary at the Dept. of Commerce.

In 1992 mom married Frank Collino, our step father who loved, cherished and took care of mom until the day of her passing.
