Dear Jody and family,
My sincere condolences on the death of Jody's dad. I know how important a member of your family he was. I always enjoyed Jody's wonderful, touching and funny stories about her dad and growing up in an Italian-American family like mine. I, too, lost my dad this past October and no matter how old they are or how ill they might have been, it is always a turning point in one's life to lose a parent.

Our family lived on Cream Valley Dairy on East Avenue in Woodstown. I was very athletic and needed new sneakers or shoes on a regular basis. Whether or not they were for sports or dress shoes, Mr Damiani allowed me to charge them and my father Rev. Abraham Morris would pay for them sometime later. This was long before there was any such thing as a credit card or charge account. As a kid growing up in Woodstown, I'll never forget those multiple kind gestures of generosity from Mr. Joe Damiani.

Dear Aunt Betty, Betsy, Jodi and Kathy,
My thoughts are with you during this time of sorrow. I am so glad I had the opportunity to spend some time with Uncle Joe and Aunt Betty two years ago during a visit to N.J. He never changed, always smiling, and a twinkle in his eye. He was a very good man. Love to you all.
