I hear it as "Commore" (Godmother), but it could have been Carmela.

In III, at Michael's party, Mary presents a check for $100 million to Archbishop Gilday from, I believe, "the Vito and Carmela Corleone Foundation."


You're right on with the "Commore Corleone" from the deleted scene. That's how I understood it.

I just watched the scene in Part 3 and Mary says "Here is 100 million dollars for the poor of Sicily in the name of Vito Corleone" No mention of Carmela.
