We are sad to hear of Tina’s death. We remember her as a very kind a caring person. Always friendly toward us during the social hour after Divine Liturgy. We send our condolences to Alex whom my husband, Roman, enjoyed exchanging greetings with. May Tina rest in peace.

Thia Foto, you were a beautiful person inside and out. You always engaged with me when we met and asked me about my life. You were sincere and true. You and your husband were positive forces in my life growing up, always being so genuine, uplifting and congratulating me on the things that I had done in my life and our very close Greek Community. I heard that you were sick too late… as soon as I heard I tried to come see you, but it was too late. I wish I could have had a last goodbye, but life is fragile and unfair. Rest in peace Thia. I will never forget you and our interactions. You helped make me the man I am now and I will always appreciate that. With sadness and love, I wish you to rest in paradise. ❤️
