Dear Vicki,
My deepest sympathies, go out to you and your family, during this difficult period in you lives.
Your mother has now left behind her legacy.
You have become that legacy.
There is no doubt, that the nurturing, sweet and humble woman that now rests in the hands of God Almighty, ensured that her good work and will continues thru you Vicky.
For this and more that is too much to list, we are grateful, to your dear mother.
May your mom, rest in peace and continue to place her hand on your shoulder in your times of need. May she bestow upon you patience, wisdom and compassion in the times that you need.
May her memories bring peace to your heart and soul. Know that her death was not in vain, it was to pass her spirit to you.
May you use that spirit to inspire and console and help others, as you have, for others and myself.
I am grateful to have you as a friend.
I am grateful that your mom and I share a special bond.
With a very heartfelt embrace, I wish you my deepest sympathies.
With all my heart and soul
My deepest sympathies to you, and your family

Thea Tasoula reminds me of my years gone by and I will miss her loving voice and demeanor. I will always remember and cherish my memories of Thea Tasoula and the old days of seeing Theo Demosteni and my father talk for hours and hours while Thea was in the kitchen being a great host to me and many times my friends that were with me from Canton. These are the things in life that stay with us and bring a smile to our faces when we remember those that have departed. My condolences to the entire family.
