  Hi my name is Jade and I just wanted to share some encouraging words with you during this time of grief. I would like to share a scripture with you that brought me comfort when I lost my father. It's found at 1John -5:28,29 where it says that there will be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous also the scripture at Psalms chapter 37 verse 10 and 11 tells us that the righteous and the meek will inherit the earth and they will possess it forever how encouraging that is for us to know that we will be able to see our dead loved ones again in the very near future.

  🕯 My heart aches and I miss my mom very much. I take comfort in knowing how much she loved each and every one of us. Mom touched so many people through her travels and adventures. We were all truly blessed. I am proud to be her daughter and so grateful for all the times we shared and having so many great memories. I hold her love in my heart always and the beautiful rainbows will be my sign she is always here with me.

  This picture always makes me laugh - it's from the senior center hat decorating contest. Last year when we went to dinner at Eddie's new house mom saw it in a frame with his collection of family photos - she said "oh Eddie that's the picture you choose" then we all laughed and laughed. I love all the preciuos memories we have.

  On Friday July 25th we scattered mom's ashes off the Florida coast in the Gulf of Mexico - It was a beautiful peaceful service. Robert has made a video to share the day with everyone. It starts with prayer and candle lighting at St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church. We spent the day in Tarpon Springs, Florida one of mom favorite places then took the “Windsong” sail boat (the same boat mom took to scatter dad’s ashes) out into the gulf. The white roses represented her three sisters’, the red roses her six children and yellow rose pedals her grandchildren and great- grandchildren. The sunset which was mom’s favorite time of day was amazing. Remember Love Never Ends.

  One of my favorite birthday cards I sent mom over the years - she saved every card sent to her from us!

  Dear Jan, Nancy, Jeff, Steve, Laura and Sara, You all have my condolences as you continue to cope with the loss of your mother. No amount of time can truly mend a broken heart when it comes to losing a loved one in death. Your tribute to Chrisanthy was very well written and her genuine character became evident even to a stranger such as myself. She loved and cherished all of things that truly mattered in life such as her family, friends, seeing the world, and having a relationship with God. I know from personal experience that the pain of losing a loved one never truly vanishes so I wanted to share an encouraging scripture from the bible with you. Isaiah 25:8 reads "He will swallow up death forever, and the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will wipe away the tears from all faces". It's comforting to know that there will be a time when death will be no more and as brought out in Acts 24:15 that "There is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous". I hope you were able to find comfort in God's promises for the future and that it builds you up in times of distress. You all have my sympathy as you continue to cope and I know that Chrisanthy will be delighted to see her loving family again soon!

  Missing mom on her birthday today and thinking back to all the wonderful birthday memories we shared. The picture is out of focus because I was laughing to much by mom's surprise when the crew on her birthday cruise a couple years ago brought her a cake and sang her happy birthday. She loved it and the entire dinning room applauded!! We laughed about it all night.
