Dear Uncle Lou, Catherine & John, Peter & Georgia, Chris & Laura, and Nicole & Louie,
Our most heartfelt sympathies to all of you for your painful loss.
Words cannot truly express the great love, admiration and respect we have for Thea Mary. What an incomparable role model – a loving wife, devoted mother, doting grandmother, dedicated sister, adoring aunt and godmother, and true friend. All of her amazing qualities are a direct reflection of her remarkable Orthodox faith and her passion to help those she loved succeed in life's journey. We pray she always knows the wonderful things she has done while here on earth, and that she will forever wear that big, beautiful smile as she watches over you all.
In loving memory of a wonderful friend, Thea Mary – You will always live in our hearts and prayers, and your memory will be everlasting.
