My sincere condolences to the children and family of Joseph Gatto. I had the pleasure of meeting Joseph and his loving family last year. Although we all met through Josephs (and Rose) illness at Overlook Hospital I would not have been able to embrace the beautiful, loving and dedicated bond of the Gatto family. Keep your beautiful memories and stand strong together. Love Gwendolyn Dabney
