Lily darling, when your beloved family and friends touch your lovely works of embroidery that you so generously gave as presents or read your evocative cards that you never forgot to send your relatives and friends, we feel that you are watching over us in spirit. We grieve not, nor despair, because we shall meet again on a divine plane as Jesus assured us: ‘I said, "You are gods"’ (John 10:34).

Lily darling, it's been three years today since you left for a higher plane. You are truly forever missed.
Happy birthday, Lily!!! I still go to Jazzercise and still miss your warm welcoming smile. You are and will in my heart ever! Hitomi
Lily must be delighted, dear Hitomi, as she is watching from above that you remembered her birthday. You were in her heart too. Dimitri.

Από τις πιο όμορφες αναμνήσεις των παιδικών μου χρόνων θα έχω πάντα στην καρδιά το χαμογελαστό πρόσωπο της Νονάς, που πάντα με γέμιζε δώρα αλλά περισσότερο ακόμα με την αγάπη της και τα καλά της λόγια. Με γέμισε λύπη αυτή η είδηση που έλαβα με μεγάλη καθυστέρηση κι ακόμα πιο πολύ λυπήθηκα που δεν μπορέσαμε να ειδωθούμε μια φορά όλα αυτά τα χρόνια. Θα είσαι πάντα χαμογελαστή στη μνήμη μου.
Dear Helen there is not a day that goes by that Heather and I don't think about you with so much love.we miss you so very much, every Saturday Aja goes to the door with the duck you bought her, but no Helen she too feels the loss.Love,Cathie,Heather
From the first meeting and in getting to know Lily, she became one of the most important people in my life! In the later stages of Eleni's life she unselfishly came to stay with us to better care for Eleni and enable me to continue working. She will

Η Λίλυ μας πέταξε ψηλά με τα φτερά ενός αγγέλου. Οι αναμνήσεις όμως δεν έχουν φτερά. Θα μείνουν για πάντα, εδώ, μαζί μας. Μεγάλη παρηγοριά!
Lily was a very humble, gracious woman that I had the privilege to have known. She will be missed.

I had the honor of being Helen's manicurist and best friend for 14 years. My daughter Heather and I will miss her forever. The best day of the week was when Helen came to the house, she lit up the room with her smile. Until we are together again-Love,Cathie, Heather and Aja
Lily,
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,

A cheerful friend, a source of encouragement and support, a person of trust. Wonderful memories of the times we spent together at Kendall Park and La Costa. Lily will be always remembered by the many who had the privilege of knowing her in her many life journeys with wonderful sweet feelings.

My mom would really laugh at this, (well, she wouldn't see it since she wasn't into surfing the web), she wouldn't believe that all these people felt this way about her. There is not enough space for me to write what an amazing mother she was. I know I will never stop missing her, but I hope in time that I can have a tiny bit of whatever made her so special. Love you so much-your favorite child
Sweet Lilly, I see you in my mind Jazzercising in your special spot. Oh what fun you had. I miss your sweet smile. How you would cup my face in your hands and truely listen to me. It was as when I spoke to you, I was the only person in the room. It amazed me how you could light an entire room with your smile when you shared the pictures of your beautiful grandchildren. Love Lori
I felt honored to be the personal physician for Helen for the last 18 years. What a bright light of love, enthusiasm, and good will! At each visit, I came away feeling better?! Those who knew her will always be blessed by her good spirit. She is unforgetable!
Lily, I want to "Thank you" for your friendship. You lit up our face when we felt down, with your bright smile and warm hugs. I miss you so much! When I look up at the sky at night, I see you as a bright star. Now you look over us this way. Thank you, Lily!! Love, Hitomi
I worked with Dr. Payne for the past 5 years. Helen was a sweet sweet women and a joy to see at her appointments. Forever in my thoughts...Marci
I really miss you, Lily. I tend to look around for you every time I go to jazzercise, and then I remember...
All your friends at jazz. think and speak of you with great affection. You were appreciated by everyone! I miss happy, laughing times together.
Love, Florence

The day you appeared at my door with Pat was the beginning of a very special friendship. Sisters at heart. I think of you every day and miss you more than words could ever say. Lily, thank you for sharing your life with me. Love, Sandy
I was an election worker with Helen for several years. I'll miss her beautiful smile and positive perspective, not to mention the delicious Greek treats she always brought. It was always amazing to see her constant energy and enthusiasm, even during the exhaustingly long days at the polls. Thanks for being a wonderful friend, neighbor, and example! -- Love, Doug Whiting
