1Opinion of the Court

POPOVICH, Judge:

This is an appeal from an order of the Court of Common Pleas of Lehigh County, later reduced to judgment, entering summary judgment against the plaintiff/appellant, Virginia K. Hower. We reverse.

In making our assessment of the case at bar, we are guided by the following standards of review; to-wit: Summary judgment should not be entered unless the case is free from doubt. Weiss v. Keystone Mack Sales, Inc., 310 Pa.Super. 425, 456 A.2d 1009 (1983). Since the moving party has the burden of proving that no genuine issues exist as to the material facts, the record must be examined…
