Martha and Mary my thoughts and prayers are with you. Your mother was a sweet, and kind soul. She always asked about my mom when she was sick, and prayed for her. I miss seeing her in her yard. I was always amazed how much energy she had. May she rest in peace. Love, Paula

For the past almost 9 months, I was able to see Ms. Loizou just about every day, and I was always amazed at the tender, loving care that was shown to her by her devoted family. My thoughts and prayers remain with the family.

Patricia taraborrelli, nick and Nancy taraborrelli, uncle nick and I were just speaking about her the other day. I was wondering if she would remember me if I asked her to make me her Greek coffee. It was the best. And thinking about when my pops and Leon worked at the barber shop. She was an amazing woman. She kept her Greek culture alive in America. My prayers to you all. God has chosen another angel To be by his side.
