Dear Papou,

You taught us how to can jam. You taught us how to make spanakopita. You taught us how to grow beautiful flowers. You were such a talented person and we had so much fun doing these things together with you. We will miss your smiling face and sitting next to you in Church. You accomplished an enormous amount of things in your life, and you continued to do that right up to the end. We know you have met our parents in heaven. Please hug them all for us. We love you Papou!-----Steve, Jane and John Stathas
