Dear Mrs.Fotoula,
I would like to express my sincere condolences on the recent passing of your beloved husband, Mr. Marinos. My husband Nikos and my mother also send their thoughts and prayers to you and your family at this difficult time.
Through my relation with Mr. Marinos, over the years, I came to realize his great kindness and compassion towards his friends and family. And I do know that he was very highly respected throughout this community.
You were truly fortunate to have a man such as your husband in your life.
As you know, it was many years ago that my own father passed away, so I have some idea of what you and your sons are going through. No comfort is quite enough to replace the loss. I wish I had words to comfort and sustain you in your grief, but I know there are none that will take away any pain you are feeling now. My heart aches for you and your family, and my arms long to embrace you.
Dear Evangello and John, although words seem futile now in the midst of your sorrow, they are all I have to give you. Please accept these written words as warm hugs to wrap yourself in, and know that I am holding your family in my heart at this sad and difficult time. Being close to such a nice person as your dad was a pleasure for me. I know that he always supported you in all that you ever wanted too and I am sure, than now even though he is not here, he will be looking at you from heaven and will continue doing the same.
Dear Mrs.Fotoula, Evangello and John your beloved husband and father Mr. Marinos has passed on a better place now and he is with his good friend Mr. Basilis Karavas. You can take comfort and strength from the wonderful family you and he had together.
I know that Only God can know what you are feeling in your heart now, and i know that only He can restore your spirit.
With my all love,
Nektaria Drakou.
