At the dawn of every new year your smile and positive attitude for life give us all the energy to carry on. Tsolakidis Family, Athens Greece
It's been almost 3 and 1/2 years since you left for heaven.. Did you celebrate your birthday over there? Miss you, our sweet friend!!
Love, Hitomi
Your loving smile and positive spirit kindles wonderful memories and brights our lives every first of the year.
Your loving smile and positive spirit is far greater than the sorrow of your passing - and it fills our hearts with positive energy to carry on.
We miss your smile, we miss your encouragement, we miss your positive spirit for life!

You were such a pleasant, happy neighbor. The ten years I have lived at Sea Point there was never a time when I saw you that you didn't have a beautiful smile and hello. It was such a joy to have known you. You will be missed. May Dimitri and your children feel blessed that they had such a wonderful wife and mother. Sincerely in the Peace of Christ,
Al Giglitto
First and foremost I want to tell you that I will always miss you. I treasured so many moments that we have lived together, your special way to say: " look who's back finally !!!".
You were such a special angel, always ready to listen, to help and never complaining.
As long as we will say your name, you will never be forgotten.Love to you Dear Lily. Veronique

The Greek edition of the book

whose life was a source of
joy and inspiration to those
Why the song "Briskesai Pantou"
I was asked by non Greek-speaking site visitors about the song “Briskesai Pantou” ("You Are Everywhere") that I added under the Audio section of the site’s Gallery. The lyrics of this melodious song, which appear below in translation, have stirred the emotions of Greek mourners since the song, performed by Trio Kantsone, won a Greek music festival award in 1959.
YOU ARE EVERYWHERE
You are everywhere.
In everything I feel and I live
In everything I sense and I love
It’s you I’ll find.
You are everywhere.
In everything I touch and I desire
In everything I see and aim for
It’s you I’ll find.
In what your hands with love have touched
In what your lips have hesitantly said
In so many things that your eyes have viewed
In all these I’ll find you wandering silently.
Thus, like a shadow
In everything I feel and I live
And even in my heart’s echo
It’s you I’ll find.
The years have turned into chains
The dreams have turned into traps
While I, with my mind lost,
As my shadow I’ll have you everywhere I go.
You are everywhere.
