Mrs. Amato always had a smile, kind thoughts and optimistic outlook and personality. She was positive and I was extremely fortunate to have known her. She added and enriched the lives of all she touched.

Thank you for all the spaghetti dinners you fixed for me and my brother in the 1950´s. It was so important for us. We will always remember your kindness. Coach and Alice have always been an inspiration to me my entire life. Praying for Coach and his family.

Alice is a Godmother who filled my childhood with fantastic memories and love. While she may not have realized the influence she had in my life, her kind heart and genuine compassion are values I hold myself and instill in my own children.
Thank you, Alice. xoxo

Alice was the one of the loveliest people I've encountered in my years at Loyola Academy. She was always kind, willing to help in any way she could and was so capable at her job. She was a woman for others will truly be missed.
