To the entire Pries Family,

Our heart-felt, deepest sympathies go out to all of you in the untimely "falling asleep" of your dear, most beloved mother, yiayia and great grandmother. We have known her to be a pillar of faith for the St. Nicholas Community and the great Matriarch of the Pries Family. May God rest her soul. And may you all find comfort in our Lord's Resurrection: for He is the Victor over death. Eonia aftis i mnimi.
With all our love,
+Fr. Alex, Presbytera Nicole Leong & Family

Dear Pries Family,
It was quite a shock and very painful hearing that this remarkable woman Penelope Pries left us so suddenly.
We first met at SJSU 35 years ago. Since then we met at the Greek church and events. She was always smiling and lovable. We are going to miss her.
Condolences and Zoi Se Sas.

Dear Pries Family,

I am very saddened to hear that Penny was taken from us so unexpectedly. She will be truly missed and her loss will be felt by many.

Dear Pries Family,
I was struck deep in my heart to hear of the loss of your loved one. I worked with her for 20 years at SJSU and she was truly a dedicated and diligent staff member; faithful to her faith and family; generous beyond mention; caring and compassionate always of others. I deemed her as part of the 'Greek Connection', of whom I worked with, never complaining without working things out among other staff personnel. I will miss her, as I know you will. May the Face of GOD shine upon you, and give you Peace. (Numbers 6:24-26) GOD Bless you each one.
