Dom was a spectacular mother, “Daddy”, who devoted her life to her girls. Dom, you had a hypnotizing soul and a contagious laugh that will be missed. Your friends and family will carry your spirit with us all ways. John 14:27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubles and do not be afraid. Psalm 34:18 The lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.
