In remembering Nona, I am reminded of how much she loved her grandchildren, and how her heart was lit by their visits with her. May her life live on through the hearts of her grandchildren, in their stories and fond memories.
Wishing you strength and courage as Nona finds her paradise.

When I look at this beautiful photo of your mom I am struck by the warmth and grace of her expression as well as her smiling eyes that seem to say "welcome, come chat with me and we will enjoy one each others company". I am very sorry that even though i feel that I have known her for years, we had never actually met. I picture her fighting spirit and her "joie de vivre". I know that she was a passionate woman who was deeply devoted to her family, her friendships and her work . I know she thrived on being engaged with the world with energy, commitment and joy.
I know she will be missed by so many family members, friends, co-workers , caregivers and anyone else who really knew her.
I am so deeply sorry for your loss but i know that she will live on in all of you and in your shared memories of her.
Take care of yourselves and one another in the difficult days ahead
with love,
Claudia
Nicole, I love you and sending love and strength❤️
Eleni, Anna, and Nicole:
You were blessed to have such a caring lady to call Mother. Her wit, charm, selfless nature and loving spirit will live with you forever. Now that she is gone, Denise is in a better and safer place to live – your hearts and your minds. She was an unique angel who will now come to your dreams and guide you from the heavens. Stay strong during this sad and difficult time. Our prayers are with you.
– Regards and lots of love,
Tuna and Ami
