Papou always told his grandkids that their education was one of the most important things in life. The family would like to thank the staff and doctors at The Toledo Hospital and the Ebeid residence for their exceptional care. With their help Spiro was eased of pain and made his final days peaceful. Online condolences may be shared with the family by visiting our website at: www.ansberg-west.com
