Dear Vlachos Family,

So sorry to hear of George's passing. I smile, though, when I picture him sitting behind the register on Moody St., always happy. He was so kind to me and all who came through the door.
I'm sure he is in a happy place now.
Thinking of you,

To the Vlachos Family,
George was one of a kind.
His personality, kindness and thoughtfulness was the spirit of the waltham Moody Street Spa.
George will always be special to my family.
Remember what St Augustine wrote and I hope this gives you some comfort." You never lose anyone you give back to God."
God bless you
