Dearest Minnie,
I don't have the words to express my deepest sadness for you at this time. Stratton was a wonderful friend and I am sure a wonderful husband and father. I will miss his warm smile. My prayers are with you and your family.

Minnie,
I just learned of Stratton's passing by word of mouth, here at St. Demetrios in Weston where I work. I was shocked and terribly saddened to say the least. I'm so glad we had a last chance to see Stratton and you in Watertown at my Uncle John's funeral. Such a nice man will be sorely missed, and especially by his sweet and loving wife. You two made such a great couple. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. May his memory be eternal!
With sympathy and love,
Nikki and Jim Mavrikos

Minnie,

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I'll miss not seeing Strattie working on a car in the driveway. His sense of humor and his quick smile. I'll miss him grilling souvlakie at the Taverna and so many other fond memories of us all together at different functions.

Stay strong Minnie, we are all with you in spirit & friendship.

Love,
Dolores

Dear Minnie,
I was saddened to read of Stratton's passing in the obituaries. It is most difficult to lose a husband. I remember our college tears and how very much you were in love. Extend my sympathies to your family.
