My dearest Maria and Elena, Kaliope, & Georgia,
From across the miles, we send our deepest sympathies (syllypitiria). Barry and I were extremely saddened to hear of George's passing. Your family, as well as the whole Charlton/Southbridge community, lost a vibrant man - a man who always had a smile on his face and lots of energy that he shared with everyone. At home, he had three beautiful angels -Elena, Kaliope, Georgia- and a most precious woman as his wife. Cherish the memories of George and carry them in your hearts. Celebrate the life he lived. I wish I could be there to hug and comfort you. We always shared so much of our "Greek" heritage - and lots of special food! Thank you for always making us feel like a part of your family. Our love to all of you at this sad time. "O' THEOS MAZI SAS" (God be with you).

Maria
