Brian and I are so deeply sorry for the sudden loss of your beloved mother. Losing a mother is one of life’s greatest heartbreaks — she gives us life, nurtures us, and is often our best friend, the one who is always there for us no matter what. We can only imagine the pain and emptiness you must be feeling right now.
No words can truly bring comfort at a time like this, but please know that our hearts are with you and your family. We understand how immense this loss is, and we want you to know that we are here for you in any way you may need — to listen, to help, or simply to be there.
With our sincerest sympathy and love,
Soola and Brian

Colomba, Thank you!
Our deepest condolences. Sorry for your sudden lost.
Just to put things in perspective my dad Frank Casola and Frank Amato are 1st cousins.
Charley, a sincere Thank You, from the Amato family.
I’m so sorry to hear this news. Anna Marie sat next to my Nonna at their lunch table at Humber Meadows. She was such a kind person and always made me laugh with her witty jokes. I’ll truly miss seeing her.
Thank you for you for reaching out, we appreciate it.
