"Dear Mrs. Eleanor! My first ?teacher?, my only sincere life coach while in United States. You were always there for me, happy or sad moments, always honest, kind and sincere. Your cheered me on during my firsts steps and first wins, as mother cheers for her child. Only you knew how to show love in this special way, the way when you let someone into your soul forever. You knew how to choose the best out of life and always helped others to do the same. THANK YOU for making me feel SPECIAL and like a part of your family for the past 22 years. Love you! You will always have a place in my heart! May you Rest In Peace! Mariya Krio"

"Miss you already Mom. It was a honor caring for you these past 10 years. I have learned so much about how to live my life and what really matters during this time, and I owe that all to you. Thanks for loving me unconditionally and having my back, no matter what....I also appreciate your complete honestly during good and in bad times. It made me the man I am today. I have a sweet thought since you passed as you reunite with your sister Lorraine, Dad, your mother, and of course Max your yorkie. I will always cherish our special times until we meet again. Love Joe"
