To the entire Tsiplakos family - Lena, George, Sula and all the grandkids - we are truly sorry to hear of Thea Panagiota's passing. She will always be remembered for her gracious laughter, her joy and devotion and love of her family, her hospitality, her smile and grace. I have fond memories of her and always will. May God give you strength and may her memory be eternal always. Rest in peace.
