Truely a sweet heart of nature &full life.I met Mrs.D'Amato through her daughter Karrie beautiful smile welcoming me in with open arms on the day of Karrie's wedding.Never once heard her complain,to meet her embrace made me feel as though I knew her a life.To except my caroling although I stunk gave me such privilege to engage in a wish come true.To the family I hold dear she was an amazing hold on to those memories because she will always be right there in your hearts.
