Nicole Damato, 29, a St. John Parishioner, died suddenly this past December 1, 2001, leaving behind two little boys, Vinnie Dominic (8) and Jesse Angelo (6). Nicole was a cancer survivor, having battled it after the birth of her first son, (1994) and going into remission after her second child was born, (1996). Then in June of 1999 Nicole was on a trip to downstate Illinois, where she was put in the hospital for four months after being mauled by a black bear.A devout mother and churchgoer, Nicole was thoughtful and selfless, and looked out for everyone. She enjoyed everything there was to life, and she made sure to provide her boys with all her love, life and laughter.
Monies are being raised for the immediate and future expenses of her children, the newly founded, Nicole Damato St. John Fisher Scholarship Fund, and a portion is being donated to the Illinois Chapter of the Liver Association.

If anything, you can write it off on yr tax return and also earn some good karma points. Normally I am not one to shill fundraisers or anything at all really as anyone who knows me will attest to, but for Dina and her family, I am making the exception.
