Although I never met Yiayia in person, I fondly remember Willie's stories of her love, humor and wisdom. I am sure that her inspiration will live on in all of you. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time, and may you take comfort in each other as you celebrate her well-lived life.

Love,
