My condolences to the Galati family... Your mother was the most energetic person I have ever met and I had the honor of helping her as much as I could while I was working where she lived. Heaven gained an amazing angel... Love you all.

Vito, I just finished speaking with you. Now I hold my mom's yearbook in hand. It's very rare for two women to hold a lifetime friendship, though my mother and your mom did just that! My mom died in 2011 and, in my mom's place, I called yours to keep the friendship going in some form. In my mother's yearbook, your mom signs, "a friend forever and ever amen." I remember your mom as someone a gentle soul, holding no grudges and accepting things as they are. Amen to that and my love to such a gentle soul, you and your family. ❤ Sharon
