Dear Tak, Kathy, Alex Jr., Kristina, Chris and Alex Sr.,
Please accept my sincere and heartfelt condolences on the loss of your loving mother/yiayia/wife. Over the more than 40 years that I have known Thia Foto, she has always been there for her extended family, no matter what was needed. She will be forever remembered as the kind, empathetic and generous person that she was. Thia Foto was always so loving and caring and always put the needs of others, ahead of her own. She will be missed by so many. But her memory will live on in our thoughts and prayers.
