Dear Helen and family,
I was very sad to hear of Thea Ethel passing away. I always think of the fun when we were so young at your home and the farm! We had fun the night we all went to Bingo & dinner! Times I treasure. My thoughts and prayers are with you and all our Thea's & YiaYia's that have gone to heaven! I can hear them talking Greek a mile a minute!!!

Love,

Dear Tony(Connie)and to your brother Jim and sister Helen, we extend our sincere condolences. Ethel was unparalleled as the matriarch of the farm stand which encompassed her name. We purchased our fruits and vegetables from the stand not only for the quality of the products but also for the flair which was exuberant. Ethel was a unique, rare and exceptional individual who shall be missed.
God bless!

Helen, Tony and Jimmy, I am so sorry for the loss of your Mother. Aunt Ethel was a woman ahead of her time. Strong, Independent, and successful, when it was unheard of. All three of the Stavros sister's shared these traits, along with their loving hearts and generousity to all they came in touch with. Many memories have come across me in the past couple of days, at the loss of a generation in our family. The yearly vacations that the Dahm's and the Less' took together, some I was to young to remember. I would like to think that the best parts of me came from the influence of my mother and her sisters, Ethel and Sophie. God bless you Aunt Ethel for all the things you did for me, that others did not know. Your on your way to heaven now. I know my Mom and Aunt Sophie and Uncle Erv have been waiting for you. There is going to be one big poker game up there this weekend!

Dear Jim, Tony and Helen,
My first job was at the veggie stand with my late twin, Joyce. Such wonderful memories of the entire Dahm and Stavros family. Your Mom was such a gentle monarch. I remember being at several bingo games with her and Sophie in years past and enjoying Greek Easter roasts with our families. Our deepest, heartfelt sympathies to your family at this difficult time. She will always be loved and remembered. God Bless.

Dear Tony, Jim and Helen,

We were so very sorry to hear the news about your Mom - she was one of a kind! I am sure we will all have some good stories to tell over the next few days. Looking forward to seeing you all again at the funeral. (Its sad that we only see each other at weddings and funerals).

Tony & Family,

How could I ever forget your mom. She was a wonderful lady (I was always afraid of her scooter), but she always made me laugh and had a voice I would never forget. A true farming pioneer in Lake County! May she rest in peace and enjoy farming and BINGO up in heaven!

Dear Dahm Family:
I am sorry to hear of Ethel's passing. My mother walked to school with Ethel although Ethel was a few years older. They shared many stories together. It was a sad day for us when the vegetable stand was closed. My condolences to the family.
