So sorry for your loss, enjoyed working with Pauline at church functions.  She was a beautiful lady and  think of her often because she shared recipe of her's with me which is a favorite of mine.

All of our thoughts are with your entire family. The beautiful photos show that Pauline had a life well lived with a loving extended family that was the focus of her love and efforts and who ultimately offered her loving support when she finally required it. The family travel pictures and those of her loving grandchild were particularly poignant. I heard of her for years from Sultana's wonderful stories and only wish I could have met her in person to relate the incredible affection that was clear in her daughter's words. Pauline was truly blessed in every way.

Your beautiful wife, mamma, and ya ya will be missed dearly, but may her memory be eternal. We send you our deepest sympathies and light this candle in remembrance of Pauline. May the light shine forever.

I will miss my very good friend. 
Many years raising our children, 
 And baking together, the Greek Fests. 
 I will miss it all my good friend. 
 To the entire family, 
my thoughts and prayers are with you and I'm here for you.

Losing Pauline was like losing my own mother, all over again. Pauline was  beautiful inside and out. Above all she  was very humble, and gentle. She never did a unkind thing in her life. I am a better person for knowing her and her family. I wish I had a life time to spend knowing her instead of just a few short years. I loved her and will never forget her. Her smile and her strong will, will always be in my mind and heart.

Dear Sultanna and Family,
Sending you love, thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.  May all the wonderful memories of such a beautiful woman help you through this time.

Sultanna and Family. My deepest sympathy goes out to you all during this difficult time. Celebrate the existence of your lovely mother, and keep her memories alive.

Pauline,
We have been best friends, Koumbara, and my "Sister" for 55 years.  We have done so much together with our families at Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Cathedral and have had many, many, many birthday parties with our children!  It is impossible to put everything on paper!  Each time there was a loss in one of our families, you would say, "Oh, Christina, it's God's will, they are with Jesus and feel no pain and suffering".  My heart feels better, knowing that you are with Jesus, and have no more pain and suffering. I will never forget you and you will always be in my heart.  God Bless you always.  Someday, we will meet again and have a cup of Greek Coffee and Baklava.

Sultanna,

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this time of sorrow.
I admire your strength and good-will, which speaks volumes to the sort of role model your mother must have been.
Heaven is blessed to have her.

Pauline, such a special Nouna to my sister, Katherine, and Koumbara to my family. So many beautiful memories of when all of us kids grew up together!  Greek dancing, Festivals, birthday parties. And now, Katina and Sultana, we have shared these events with our own families! What beautiful traditions and memories.  She has truly been a blessing to those whose hearts she has touched, especially my mom, Christina, who thought of her as a sister for 55 years.  She is a special angel, no longer suffering, watching over each of us.  Love and blessings to each of you during this time and always.

Pauline, we have been best friends, Koumbara, and my "Sister" for 55 years.  We have done so much together with our families at Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church functions and many, many, many birthday parties between our children!  Each time there was a loss in one of our families, you would say "Oh Christina, it's God's will, they are with Jesus and feel no pain and suffering". My heart feels better knowing now that it was God's will, you now are with Jesus and have no pain and suffering .  I'll never forget you and you will always be in my heart.  God Bless You.  Someday we will meet again and have a cup of Greek coffee and Baklava!

Katina and family,  our condolences to you and the family.  Treasure the memories of your Mom forever and know that she is at peace.  May her memory be eternal.  Much love to you all, The Ferman Family

Vasili, I express my sympathy for the loss of Pota of 54 years. I believe her presence will continue to comfort you. 
Katina, Richard, Alexis, James Sultana, Chad and Kiki I express my sympathy for the loss of her physical presences. Her gifts will continue to live through you. 
As you know, I grew up with you mother in Nogales Arizona. I know her to be sincere, respectful and loving; those qualities that express love.
I remember her expression of  love when she visited me when I had my first newborn, Thano. Katina you were about 3 years old.
I remember her joy in participation of her religious activities and enjoying the fellowship.
I knew her parents Maria and Nick Nickolao and her brothers George, Perry, and Dino. This family is special and honor them for a bond that significantly guided my spiritual path. She was a good daughter and sister.
I admire her family; Katina, Richard, Sultana and your children; Alexis, James and Kiki. You are all an expression of her gifts. 
Katina and Sultana, you are special to me as you project that uniqueness of the Nogales spirit which was in your mother.
I remember your mother as a hard responsible employee since the age of 15 where she first started in Nogales. She did earn her retirement to enjoy her family and grandchildren.
To Pota, I commend you. You processed your passing on with grace and dignity. 

With fond memories of this family,

Katina Sahnas

I will always affectionately refer to you as mamma. The memories of your love and laughter when visiting you at home with the kids are some of the happiest memories of my life.  You are much more than a mother n law to me because everything I love about Katina came from you and Bill. You have been a beautiful example of how to love and not judge others as well as your devotion to the Orthodox faith. Your love will forever be in our hearts.

 I am so sorry for your loss and your family have been on my mind for days.  I knew Pailone  for a very long time having grown up next door to her.  Katina and Sultaba were very close friends to my sister and I and we had many good times at their house.  Both our parents had open doors for all the neighborhood kids and it was a great time to be young.  Pauline and my mother were great friends and it gives me a little joy to know they are together again and Ms. Pauline is at peace.  I will forever remember going to the Greek Bizarres with the Kontsiotis family the dancing, the food and the games.  My sister and I enjoyed being Greek with them.  I will always remember the awesome cookies she made.  We would always be around for Eater time at her house.  She was always kind and generous to my family and so was Bill.  He was always a character always making us laugh.  So many great memories of the Kontsiotis family.  I miss those days.  I know the days ahead will be so hard for all of you.  Please take care of yourself and your family.  Love you all.

May her memory be eternal!! 
Memories of your mom will always be with me..
From The way I do my laundry to making the greek style potatoes!  Wonderful childhood memories..
Kisses momma Kontsiotis-- Finally sleep in peace with Panayia and all the angels.  Xoxoxo

Aunt Pauline; 
You will forever be remembered as our loving Aunt Pauline, an angel with a beautiful soul. 
You are now within the hearts of angels, watching over all those close to your heart. 
Beautiful memories of you will live on forever in our hearts. We love you.

Dear Katina,

May your mother's memory be eternal.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Love,

Nick, Effie, Costa and John Theodore

I am the luckiest girl to have you as my mom! You taught me love, laughter but especially how to live life. You were always so kind and accepting of everyone and always looked for the good in everyone! I am going to miss you so much. I find peace knowing you are in heaven singing with the Angels. I love you always and forever . I find comfort that you will continue to love and guide me from heaven !

Yiayia, words cannot describe how hard parting from you will be for me. However, I will always remember simple things that you did to help me and my family, including just smiling. Your smile made me smile, for it was a smile that no one could miss. I will always cherish that along with other special memories. Love you until the end of time.

Dearest Mama,
I will always remember your smile and your love. You will be forever in my heart to the end of time. Now is your time to soar with Angels and watch us from above. 
Love you always,
Sultanna

Love you, Yia Yia.  You will forever live in my heart.  ❤

My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this difficult time.

Loving memories and special moments of your Mom, forever in our Hearts
