I send my deepest condolences to Niko, Marianthi and George. Although its been many years since we had seen each other,this past year Ana and I reconnected on the telephone and that meant so much to me! I was hoping and praying for the best for her. I feel very bad at the news of her passing! I have fond memories of
Ana from our years as teenagers in Fort Wayne at the church. We were in Sunday School together, Goya and the Maids of Athena. Ana was always cheerful and kind. May she be resting in peace with the Lord. Memory Eternal!

Holding your family tightly in our hearts and prayers. I so enjoyed talking with Anastasia at the restaurant. She shared updates of Marianthi and George which delighted me as as I remember both from my work at Carroll High. Her love of family and Greece was so vivid. She will be missed.

Nick: Ana is now resting peacefully after a long battle. I pray that she is with the Lord and that you know her pain is over. Remember the best of times together...

Ana, you were a trailblazer for pheochromocytoma and a fighter. You fought very hard right through until the end. Even when treatments had you down, you still managed to reach out to me and others to offer words of kindness and encouragement. Please continue to look after your family, as I know you will. If possible, send us the cure, I assure you I will put it to good use. Until we meet again I will continue to work at helping patients to manage this disease and push for the cure that we all need. Whenever I hear the word "filotimo" I will think of you!

She was a beautiful person and I cherish the weekly trips into Friends to see her. I even had my high school graduation dinner there and she made it so special. I have not seen her in years (since graduating), but I always enjoyed talking with her and hearing about her family. Prayers to you all...

Dear Nikos, we are so very sorry to hear of your wife's passing. You may recall that your construction company built our home on Buckhurst Run in Fort Wayne about 20 years ago. We are still living there. As we can see from her photo, she was a lovely lady, and we remember you saying that she was the one who made your house into a home. We wish you God's peace.

I will miss her Sunshine on Fridays where we both were given our treatments... Ana's Sunshine will continue to shine through !

I was shocked to hear of Ana's passing. I didn't know she had been ill. I want Nikos, Marianthi and Yorgo to know how saddened I am. Ana was a wonderful person, wife and mother. She always wore a smile and was a wonderful and cheerful neighbor. She was far too young to leave this earth and I know it will be painful for those she leaves behind. Please accept my heartfelt sympathy. God bless Ana.

She had a great impact on our lives, she wanted everyone around her to be happy to make a difference. May we continue that spirit of making a difference and making sure to empower those around us.
