Dear Louie and Annie,
To lose your Mother is a very sad time in one's life. But always remember who she really was and you will keep her in your hearts and thoughts forever. God knows and understands what we feel at these times but He also knows what is best .. even when we don't understand His reasons.
I remember with fondness the little shop on Washington..what great smells filled the air and of course lots of love came with those smells..
I will remember you, your family and your Mom in my prayers..
Peace and Love to you

Libby, Louie and the entire Amoia family- I am very sorry for your loss. The Sunday morning stop at the bakery, after church, will never be forgotten. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Dear Louie, Libby and all,
My thoughts are with you all and you will be in our prayers this Monday, especially. It is hard to lose a dad and a mom...I know...I did...but they will always be in our memories and reside in our hearts. In fact, they are only a heart beat away. This is comforting thought to remember. It will truly be a wonderful day when we all can sit side by side in Paradise and love one another forever....with planet Earth's memories cast out into the endless universe. There we will all understand for the first time, what this thing called life was all about and we will smile. Take care of yourselves. You are remembered with love.
