What a great lady, spirit, and personality she was! We had so much fun, and she made me laugh so hard! I missed her when she retired and moved away, and just learned this news. Unforgettable - and always loved!
I just found this today. I have no words because I had known Carmella my entire life. She was more than a family friend. She WAS FAMILY! Through every single celebration and struggle of my life, she was always there for me. Phone calls at 2am when I was a teenager. Stepping out of an important industry meeting once when I was in crisis just to listen and tell me that I was going to be okay. She was Daniels "Auntie" my "Fairy God Mother " and my mother's BEST FRIEND!
Shelia, I just found out your Mom had passed 5+ years ago. I've been out of the Entertainment industry for many years, but always adored your Mom and would look forward to our lunches when I was in WB Feature Casting under Marion Dougherty. We lost touch after a couple years after her move to Vacaville. Such a wonderful spirit and so much fun.
