Dear Anne and Family: It is with heartfelt sadness to learn about your mom's passing. I have the following memory of her from years back when we were all young teens. Thea Gona used to make pita with raisins and walnuts - two recipes with which my mom and I were not acquainted. Well, that started us onto branching out into a new sweet direction! Thea Gona was always very kind to me personally. I will miss her humility and gentle smile. I've been praying for you all that the Lord will wrap His compassionate arms around you during this sensitive time. May she rest in peace. With sincere condolences. xoxo
When we first met many, many years ago she made me feel very welcome as a new member of the family. I will never forget her warmth and wonderful spirit. She will be greatly missed by many. May she be at peace in our Lords arms.
My deepest condolences to Jim and the entire Kotsopoulos family at this difficult time.
We will miss Aunt “Gona” very much; and, in particular, her frequent phone calls after Peter’s death. She adored him!! I am glad that I was able to share so many wonderful times with her and Uncle John. The beautiful Phlox in my garden, that she passed on to me when they moved from their house to the condo, will be a constant reminder of her generosity and love of gardening. Paradise will be made even more beautiful.
It is a very sad time. Our hearts and condolences go out to you and your family
Love Don and Jean McBride
