To Georgia and Athanasopoulos Family,

My prayers are with you during your sorrow. I am sure that Niki left this world knowing that she was cherished and surrounded by those she loved. I pray that this knowledge will bring you comfort in the days ahead. May God's arms reach out to hold you and ease your hearts.
