Dear Gyorkos family: I must tell you all that your mom was very dear to me. She always had a hug and kind words whenever we would meet, and seemed to me the very embodiment of having a positive outlook and compassion. She treated me very kindly when my babies were born and did her best to encourage me. She was a special lady, very wise and very strong. I thought very highly of Auntie Alice and I am so sorry she is gone. God comfort and strengthen each of you as you go through this sad and difficult time. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
