HELEN VIRGINIA PANDELOS

It´s almost 5 years Mom. I´m still trying to make your Mashed Potatoes, they´re close enough, but not the same.
You started life with pebbles, and gave us a mountain. I´m always trying to understand how you got your strength, courage, your loveliness, class and determination. I´m forever grateful to have you as my Mom, and I love you so much!

Gary and I send our heartfelt condolences for the loss of your Mom and friend. Helen found such great joy in her family. I was privileged to share her contagious joy one sunny afternoon on Athena's deck. Listening to the stories, memories and sharing their laughter!

May your memories give you peace and strength through this time and throughout your lives.

Rest in Peace Helen. May God Bless you and your family.

Beverly Evans

My deepest condolences to all who are impacted by the loss of such a wonderful person, friend, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. Hoping for all remembrances that bring comfort, peace, and joy during this time of sorrow and mourning.
Thank you, Athena, for sharing stories of her and letting me get to know her. I treasure that honor and joy and am happy to support in any way I can. -Allana Sleeth

Everything I do reminds me of you today. Your way, your essence, your gift to me.

My best days of my life were with my Mom! And my worst days were with her too. I wish she could be with us today, but she can not.
Let's remember her with happiness.
Mom, I love you, forever and ever and ever

My Mom was my friend. One day, we were at the Iron Butterfly, dining before a Play at the Benedum. We were seated at a table on the 2nd floor Balcony, FAR, far above the diners below, in the atrium.
Mom told a joke, and her arm came down on the fork, and I was laughing so hard my arm came down on that fork too
AND BEFORE WE KNEW IT, THAT FORK WENT SAILING OVER THE RAILING, soooooooooo far down, AND LANDED SMACK-DAB INTO THE MIDDLE OF A ROUND TABLE of 8 PEOPLE EATING DINNER TOGETHER IN THE ATRIUM!
Mom & I were so scared! But when we looked down over the balcony, we saw these little faces giving us a thumbs up, smiling, saying it was ok,lol!
We laughed until we cried.

Dear Debby, Nathan, Natalie and all of the Pandelos family,
We are so sorry to hear of your Mom and Grandma's passing. We know how dear she was to all of you. As you remember the many wonderful and special times with her you know she will live in your hearts forever.
God bless,
From Bob and Theresa and all of the Vignali family
