I always enjoyed working with Demetra in Real Estate & loans. Demetra was always smart, sharp and quick on her toes. I will miss her. I will say a pray for her family to help ease their pain.

We am so sorry to hear about Demetra's passing...We worked together, she did the loans and I sold the Real Estate.. I haven't spoken to her for awhile so I didn't know she was sick. My heart goes out to her family and friends. She touched so many lives in a very profound way. I know she will be missed by many...

Dear Anthony & Austin,
I was truly saddened to hear of Demetra's passing. I remember meeting her at Homan Elementary School and we played tether ball together. Then we parted ways and didn't meet up again till Starr Elementary. Demetra really didn't remember me and couldn't believe that I could still remember her! I told her she was a friend I would never forget. My prayers and thoughts are with you both. I will miss Demetra but I know she will always be in my heart.

Demetra I will always remember you for your beautiful hair and million dollar smile. I have memories of our youth when you were uncontrollably laughing while you were driving your orange bug with Patty and Artemis going to get ice cream at Baskin Robbins.
Your days were to short on this Earth and at this time we have very heavy hearts. We will support Anthony and Austin with all of our love, just as they have done for you. Now I know your in your Mother's(Teta) arms and she has taken away your pain.
Love John
