Dear Andy and John, I was so sorry to learn of the death of your dear mother, what a sweet soul.... I absolutely loved talking to her in church, I always patted her shoulder as I passed her in her pew on my way to communion.

Mom let me know of her passing yesterday. I don't get the weekly paper so was not aware of her showing or services, or I most certainly would have been there to offer you all my love and support. Know that I am thinking of you all..

May your memories of her keep your hearts warm.

Love always,

Anne (Harris) Amato

To Andy, John, and your families- I was very sorry to hear about your mom's passing. I remember having some very nice conversations with her in her younger days. She was such a sweet lady who loved her boys and her grandchildren so much.

May God bless all of you and comfort you until lighter days find you!
