Asiemoula Papadopoulos

Dear Sandy and Family,
We are only now learning of Mama P's passing and still in shock. There wasn't a time when we visited Athens Pizza on Thursday for her wonderful lamb shank dinner that she always met us at the door and would tell Richard to "come with me" and off they would go the the kitchen for her to show off her latest triumph in her never ending knowledge of food. Since moving away from Atlanta over 10 years ago we have not had the opportunity to revisit that wonderful place...

Deeply saddened to hear the news, today, of Asiemoula'a passing .

Please accept my condolences, to Sandy and to the entire family for their loss.

Asiemoula hired me and took me in at age 20 as a young waiter and trained me; she was deeply caring, offering advice as I made my way as a young fellow from coastal Georgia in the big city of Atlanta. I have the fondest memories of my years there but particularly of her and the maternal care she extended to all of us. She will...

We enjoyed her smile and her kind words every time we visited Athens Pizza - which is often! What a beautiful woman who offered a warm and wonderful welcome to everyone who walked through the door. We were out of town and only learned about her death when we walked into the restaurant on Tuesday night - noticed she was not in her usual seat and there were hundreds of flowers all around. Our hearts and prayers are with her family and all of us who will miss her.

The world has lost a beautiful woman and our Lord has gained a loving and wonderful soul.
I will miss her face and hugs every time I go to Athens Pizza. I will see her smile when I look at pictures from Greece and reflect on our conversations about her home. Condolences to the family.

She had a life well lived and will be greatly missed by all who knew her.

It doesn't seem right not to see her in her booth at Athens. She will be sorely missed. Condolences to all her family.

I am so sorry for your loss, Dr. P and the rest of the family. She will be missed.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.
