Dearest Callie, I will always remember you with acute fondness. You were like a second mother to me. I'm so sorry to learn of your passing. Had I know I would have been there. I just found out by doing a search of your name because I had a dram about you last night. You were checking in on me and my daughter in the dream. Rest well with your sisters my dear friend.

Thank you for being like a mother to me. I know that you are at peace and reunited with your family that you love so much.
Give them all a hug and kiss and let them know how much we miss them.
In the meantime, we will do our best to carry on the legacy and traditions that yiayia and pappou so very much cherished. The memories will live forever in our hearts.
