Carol Freeman Liebrich was a special person – kind, loving, funny, smart.  Carol was an indispensable part of the D’Amico’s Café family for 15 years.  She was loved by her fellow employees and customers.  Her presence made D’Amico’s Café a better place for everyone, and especially for me.  I would sometime watch as the customers smiled or laughed when talking to Carol and wonder whether they were at our restaurant for the food or to see Carol.  Because any day you had even a few moments with Carol was just a better day.

My family and I were saddened to hear of her passing recently.  She will be missed by all who were fortunate enough to have known her.
