Mary and her husband George have been close friends for over 70 years to the extent that we asked them to be godparents for our son Steven. Mary was not only beautiful in appearance but also as an individual, ar friend, a parent and as a spouse. She will be missed by all of us.
Our deepest condolences to Mestousis family.
