It was an honour to get to know your Mom and wife, Elena, during her stays in hospital. She was such a strong fighter and so blessed to have her family always at her side. She will continue to inspire us.
Love from our family to yours

I have great memories of your mum. Where do I start.. She would drive us to wonderland almost every weekend. Pile all the kids in her van that always smelled so good. She had an air freshner that looked like a perfume bottle stuck to her dashboard.
...Every time I see the perfume Tresor (Lancôme) to this very day, I think of her.
Aaaaaand We never went hungry at your place as kids. Lol. So many memories of her.
