Our beloved Yiayia, Our hearts are broken, but the memories will live on & be cherished forever. You were the best yiayia a kid could ask for. Your love, support, care & big warm heart of gold will be missed. Very grateful we got to spend time with you before we left on our world trip in May, bringing flowers every visit. On the days we didn’t buy them your great grand children picking some especially for you. I will never forget one of the last conversations we had about the notes I wrote you when I was a kid in the fish & chip shop saying “ I love you yiayia” and how you kept them in your bag for years… Our love for you will never end Yiayia, Rest peacefully 🤍🕊️✨ We also send our love to all our family during this very sad time.
