To share one memory of yiayia is impossible since I have a lifetime of memories up until her departure. To say the least yiayia was my best friend! I always wanted to be with her. I even finally got my own room when I was a kid, new bed, fresh paint, my own space and that same night I slept in yiayias room. She was the strongest person in my life and guided me throughout every challenge in every day. The most incredible memory was at my wedding. She used to say that she couldn't walk around without her cane and that day she proved to all of us just how strong she really was. She danced her heart out ❤️ she brought everyone tears of joy. Watching her sing, laugh, smile and truly enjoy herself is a memory everyone that was able to witness will never forget. She will always be with me in my heart and soul. 
As we used to say, Καλη νυχτα γιαγια. Ονειρα γλυκα και μαγιεμενα. Και ολι νυχτα να βλεπεις εμενα. Ciao Bella! ❤️

I was once asked, "Who do you look up to the most?". My answer was easy... it was Yiayia. She was the most incredible person in my life. She was fearless, strong, caring, determined and independent. She was a constant in my life, helped raise us and was there for every special moment. She taught me all the essentials to be a great "nifi" one day and those memories will be eternal. I'll never forget the countless of times, waking up in the morning to the smell fresh bread, koulourakia, pites, her mini pancakes and so much more. Or our walks around the neighborhood, our summers in Greece, our nights spent watching her Greek soap operas, our tea nights in bed, rehearsing my lines for a Greek school play, building forts in her room with all her sheets and so many more. Although she's gone, parts of her will live on in all of us. May she rest in peace, reunited with Pappou. Forever in our hearts, jackouli mou <3 

When her brother Stelios died she said to my father: Fonta let’s see who will be the last one to “hold the flag”!!!!
I guess she was the last of all siblings.
Any way she was the youngest ..
God may rest your soul Thia Marika 
We will miss you .
