She was such a wonderful person. She was very helpful to me at the condo. She was such a positive person and so helpful to so many.
I will miss her so much.

My heart aches for the wonderful woman I called Mom #2. At the age of 16 I was lucky to meet my dearest friend, Maria and was welcomed and treated as part of the family. Though 1300 miles separated us the past 23 years I took her love, compassion, and kindness and from Dad Tony his wisdom. Dad told me once if you can count on one hand how many friends you have you are a very lucky person. Well I not only count myself very lucky but very blessed. I will cherish the memories and times we had together. You will be missed but NEVER forgotten. Maria, Phyllis , and Aris may you find peace and comfort from this very sad time. My regrets for not being able to be there but my heart is with you all.

Words cannot take away your sorrow or your sadness especially losing your mother Vivian. She was a very nice person, a wonderful neighour and a very dear friend. We will miss her very much.
To her children and grand-children whom she cherished profoundly please accept our deepest sympathy.

Phyllis. Though I never had the pleasure of meeting your mother, I know that she must have been a great and loving mother because of the person that you are. I know how much you loved and cared for her and the void that she has left can never be filled. But, we both know, because of our faith , that she has been welcomed into Heaven by the Angels and even now is in the very presence of our Lord Jesus. May that knowledge forever bring you peace and comfort.

I know you will take great comfort in your memories and in the fact that your mom has entered into her rest. You are a wonderful loving daughter, your mother was very lucky.
Warmly, Loretta
