Dear Elenaki and Anthony, & Family I wanted to reach out and share that I have such fond memories of your Mum and Dad from when they lived on Willis Street. Your Mother used to cut my hair when I was a child, and I always admired how she was constantly so well-groomed and always greeting everyone with a smile. Unfortunately, as we get older, we all get so busy in our lives, but those memories stay with us. She was so clean and fussy in the house, just as the boys mentioned in their speech. Her house was absolutely immaculate, but so was she. She truly was an inspiration for being so beautifully presented. When I visited her at Rita Angus, I just couldn’t believe her perfectly manicured fingernails—she never lost her touch. The boys speeches were very touching. May she rest in peace. She has now joined your beloved father. With love and sympathy, : Family A. Tsalis
