MEMORY ETERNAL! A visit with your beloved wife, mother and sister in the hospital left me with the impression of a truly loving woman of great courage and sincere faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. Her desire to remain close to Christ until her departure is a beautiful and lasting testimony for us all. My heartfelt prayer is for her eternal memory and an envelope of peace from above for your dear family--the embrace of our Panagia and hope amidst present sorrow.
