Sending you strength today and peace in all the days ahead.
Those we love never truly leave us, but rather remain a song that will forever be carried in the wind.
May every sunrise remind you of the lingering beauty of yesterday's sunset.
Those who live in our memories are never truly gone

I was deeply saddened to hear about the passing of our dear Mama. She was such a warm and loving soul, always reminding us to take care in the world outside and sharing cherished stories from her childhood and family. Mama's presence brought so much comfort and joy to those around her, and her memory will forever be etched in our hearts.I'll never forget her delicious recipes, especially her fasolakia, which she prepared with so much love and care. May her recipes continue to nourish our souls as we honor her memory.

To the whole family, please know that you're in my thoughts during this difficult time. May the love and fond memories of Mama bring you solace and strength in the days ahead.
