Noni, As a wife, it was hard watching you suffer and I am comforted to know that you are now free from pain and rest in peace. Love Eleni. Dad, There are no words to express what I watched you go through, especially in the last 48 hours. I can t imagine what you went through, but now you can rest in peace with your head held high. The way you fought it through and kept our family in a positive mood was unforgettable. We had our goodbye chat, father to son, man to man which I will never forget. I know it touched us both and any time spent after that was such a bonus. I have gratitude and appreciation for everything you have done. Goodbye for now, your loving son Niko. Dearest Dad, You watched me grow from a child to a man and I watched you slowly fade, but you held yourself so gracefully when Heaven called your name. You always lived through your children, now I live with you in my heart. The tears I cry can t wash away your loving memory. Fly homeward Angel, our brightest star in Heaven. Thank you for all that you have done for me and my family.
