Michael Maverakis

My condolences to Uncle Mike's family at a very difficult time. I really never saw Uncle Mike a whole lot, but when I did, I was treated as if I was his own daughter. He always had a kind word and I will particularly remember his adorable laugh. He welcomed my husband Ray into his family with open arms. May he rest in peace.
May his memory be eternal....

Dearest Paula,
I am sorry I cannot be with you at this time. Death is bittersweet and we will miss your father. We will be there for you always. Our prayers are with you.

I first met Mike and Tessie at Stephanies house during the holidays a few years ago. I could tell right away that he was a gentle man who cared for his family and he displayed that smile that everyome talked about.
My next encounter with Mike was in Salt Lake. Stephanie and myself went there to visit him in the hospital. I sat with him as he atempted to count small change, part of his rehab. He struggled to put pennies, nickels, dimes together to come up with the correct sum. After several...

I'm so glad to have met Michael, although I didn't know him very well he was a very compassinate man and I cared for him very much, I feel that he is feeling much better now, and know that he was much loved.

Love Tom

Our hearts will forever ache, but know he is in good hands! We will forever treasure all of our great memories we have.
Love, Jason, Nikki, Tess and Abby Grow

I like to pay tribute to a great wonderful human being who became our friend. The gift of friendship and the peach tree we will cherish. Dear Paula and Mike I admire you for taking such good care of your father -- proof of the genuine love you share for one another. The feeling of missing a dear one who has gone on is hard but remember; when the heart weeps for what it has lost, the spirit rejoices for what it has found.

As a young boy in the 40's and early 50's, I remember the Maverakis home next to Liberty Park was our home away from home when we came to Salt Lake City. There was always hearfelt love shown to our
family. Michael projected Maverakis love and kindness to my mother, Helen Zoolakis Flynn, both in the Wellington and Avelon nursing homes; comforting her in her dementia. I'm sure the love Michael expressed here on earth will also be expressed in Heaven.

Dear Paula,
I am so sorry to hear of your Father's passing. He was such a sweet and kind man. Please accept my sincere condolences.
