"I am 8 years to late for my God Mother. No words can express the sorrow that I failed share with all my family. I miss you and your face. I have so many pictures stored from your times in Athens with my dad, Bill. As well as throughout the years. I see your Spirit. Remember you saved me from falling off the Bablo Boat rail by grabbing my belt when I was 8 or so I think!! I was halfway off and going in. Miss you!"

"Darling Auntie Joyce, I will always remember how you sent me "bubble-gum" money when I was in College, and how you showed me how to blow huge gum bubbles until they stuck in my long hair and Mom cried when the barber had to cut my hair. I loved it short---and I loved you. I know that you are in Heaven now with Uncle John and Georgie, and those that you loved and lost. You left, here on earth, wonderful children and grandchildren who are your legacy, who will love you forever. God Rest your Sweet Soul, Auntie. You in my heart, always... Love, Irene (and Trip) "

"Vicki, I am so sorry to read about the loss of your Mom, my love, thoughts, and prayers are with you during this sad time. I hope all of your wonderful memories together remain strong in your heart forever and help you in the difficult days ahead."

Sheila Tripp wrote on Aug 8, 2014:

"So sorry to read about the passing of your Loved One. There are no words that can be said to remove the sadness and pain that you feel, and I can't say that I know how you feel at this time, or that I don't know your pain. But the bible recommends, rejoice with those who rejoice and weep with those who weep. So until your tears turn into joy, I would like to extend my deepest heartfelt sympathy to you for the loss to your family. (Romans 12:15)"

"My sweet, beautiful "Babs" I'm trying so hard to be strong because it's what you would tell me to do. I can almost hear you say "don't be sad, don't cry for me" of course this is what you would say because you lived your entire life for us and to see us in so much pain would be unbearable for you. So I will do my best to remember that you have gone home to be with Daddy and George, Nona and Papouli, Uncle Bill and Uncle Tom. What a reunion that must have been! Forever I will love and miss you, and "I'm gonna keep on loving you"....."
