We are all so very sorry to hear of the passing of a dear godmother and positive person in our lives for so many years. I would especially express my gratitude for (nona) having come to see with my mother in Edmonton and to always call and keep in touch with our family. May she rest in peace and know she will always be remembered in our hearts.

We are sincerely sorry to hear of Mrs. Amelia Kokos' passing. Our thoughts are with her family at this time.

I would like to take this time to thank her for all of the time she spent, for the kind words she shared and for the love that she had shown my daughter Jacqueline Weston over the years. She was a wonderful lady. I feel honoured to have had her be such a positive influence in my daughter’s life.

She will always be remembered with love and admiration by our family.

Having grown up with the entire Kokos family I am very sad to here that Mrs. Kokos is no longer with us. My deepest thoughts and sympathy goes out to the family and I will truly miss her. She was always kind and loving and she has always meant a lot to me.
