Zia, you will always be a special person in my life. While your presence will be greatly missed, I know that you will be watching over all of us for years to come. You were an amazing person in every way and I am grateful to have had you in my life and shared so many experiences with you. You had love for everyone and one way you expressed that was through your cooking. Thanksgiving dinners were unmatched, from your creative soups, the pasta dishes, the meats and your legendary tiramisu. Paired with your mothers fresh mozzarella, family gatherings will never taste as good. In addition to our family time, I also had the pleasure of working along side you at the Soccer Palace. You were the heart of the business. What was most impressive was you were the same person you have always been in the family environment. You treated everyone the same, with the utmost respect and kindness. Your presence left an impression on us all. I am a better person as a result of it and I hope to share your memory in practicing your kindness and telling your story. Breathe easy Zia, as I know you are in the presence of greatness.

Zia Anna Maria…you were truly the easiest and sweetest person to talk to. All of our conversations were so meaningful - you always found the good in life. Thanksgiving dinners were a highlight as I grew up and some of my favorite memories. Zia, you will sincerely be missed and love you always.

Ma, she wasn’t just a Ma to me or my siblings, but a Ma to our family and a Ma to our friends and even a Ma to our babysitter hannah. When I was younger I wanted to be many things a nail artist, a hairstylist, even a pet babysitter. But there was one thing I wanted to be that just stuck even to this day and that was to be exactly like Ma. Growing up with her was an unforgettable experience. I’m sure most of us can agree that she was the most considerate, patient, and caring person you’ll ever meet. No matter how she felt she always made it her mission to make everyone else around her happy. Not only was she selfless but she was also understanding. Ma always knew what to say or do. Most of the time I catch myself saying and i’m pretty sure my mom says this but “What would Ma do” because mama always knew what to do. At first we were able to just ask her, butu now we really have to think about it. I have a feeling this will become a daily ask in our household. I will miss our battles of who loves each other more and the way we would just sit on the couch cuddling together watching either chopped or a movie. Sometimes her presence was all that I really needed. And she was always there. She would answer no matter the time of day. I remember waking up in the middle of the night terrified after a bad dream and I would call her. She always answered. She would remind me that it was just a dream and she’d then stay on the phone till she knew I was sleeping. Her words and presence comforted me more than anything else could’ve. I have a lot of great memories with ma like the time we played jenga for an hour straight, our couch sleepovers, baking together, and even just the conversations we had. I know those may not sound exciting but they were meaningful. And ma can make anything fun. I love everything about her from her laugh, the way she sits on chairs, and the way she did a little dance when we had to taste test the pasta. Ma was a gift, and those who knew her were truly blessed. I love you to the moon and back times infinity.

Zia Anna Maria, from the minute Frank introduced us I could feel your warmth. You always greeted me with a huge smile and hug - I loved being in your presence…you are one of the reasons I felt so welcomed into the family. I’ve said it many times, but you’re truly an extraordinary person and handled everything with such grace and poise. Our texts and and calls were so sincere and special...the boys were always so excited to say hi! I loved the time we had and will always have a spot for you in my heart. Love you so much, Zia.

To my Zia Anna Maria, one of the sweetest and caring people I’ve ever known…one of the fondest memories I have with you was going to your house every Thanksgiving. The house was always filled with so much love, food, and most importantly family. The smile on your face every time we walked into your home was priceless and etched into my mind forever. Thanksgiving has been my favorite holiday for as long as I can remember…and now I know why! Zia Anna Maria, I hope to create my own tradition with my family just as you did for all of us. Love you and miss you always.

Sal and family, I am so saddened to hear of AnnaMarie’s passing. It’s been a long time since we’ve been in each others company but I will always remember AnnaMarie’s sweet sweet personality and her warm loving ways. So easy to like her. When the Italian Edition band was together and I would see you guys at my brother Russel’s house at gatherings or at the dances, It was always a pleasure being around her. I’m so sorry she went through so much over the years with her illness. Her time has come now to be with our Lord and I pray her beautiful soul is at rest and her loving spirit will continue to surround her family. My condolences!
Love, Michelle (Mania) Giuliano

Our condolences to the Amato family. We had the honor of her and her family being our neighbor. We saw her children and ours grow up and have families of their own. It is true how wonderfully mrs.Amato raised her family with love ,respect to her culture to amazing beings her legacy and spirit lives on in them and forever. I usually see her outside and she always had the courtesy to say hello and we would talk about iur children and her battle with cancer. She always was brave and said I am fighting it even tough it challenged me and will not let it interfere with my family life she was a beautiful daughter to her parents and was their for mom and dad to the end. Also her sister shared that love to her to the end. Familia that’s all it matters I saw her white Mercedes parked at her parents house from the morning and take care of her parents and come home to take care of her family then saw the red Lexus daily of her sister sharing that love In the end all that matters is family ,love and faith in god and family she was a beautiful example of that and am sure her parents are welcoming her to heaven as believers of Christ and the resurrection. Salvation is a blessing from our lord Christ and confirmation of her eternity. I am sure mrs Amato is in the arms of Jesus and will keep an eye on her family thru eternity. There are not many of us are examples to emulate but mrs.Amato is forAll of us because she knew what mattred
God bless Sal and the family ,comfort them and guide them thru this sad time
In Christ
A humble and honored neighbor Vijay and family
