In loving memory of Grandma Min:
Grandma Min, a cherished member of our extended family, has left an indelible mark on our hearts and lives. Though distance separated us for much of the year, her impact on our lives was profound and lasting. As my brother's mother-in-law, she embraced us all with open arms, becoming an integral part of our family tapestry despite the miles between us.
Grandma Min's presence was a gift that enriched not only my life but also the lives of my children: Kalypso, Alkioni, Elli, and Antonis. Her warmth and love knew no bounds, extending far beyond traditional family lines and geographical distances. She had a remarkable ability to make everyone feel special and loved, creating a sense of belonging that transcended generations and borders.
The Christmas seasons we spent together were magical, with Grandma Min's presence adding an extra layer of love and comfort to our holiday celebrations. Her festive spirit and family traditions made these gatherings truly special, creating memories that will be treasured forever. The summer visits were equally precious, filled with joy and laughter that seemed to make time stand still.
To my children, Grandma Min was more than just a relative; she was a loving grandmother figure who showered them with affection during our visits. She helped shape their understanding of family, love, and compassion, proving that strong bonds can flourish even with limited time together. Her influence on their lives will continue to resonate for years to come.
Her wisdom, gained through years of life experiences, was a treasure trove of knowledge that she generously shared with us. Whether offering sage advice or simply lending a listening ear, she made every moment count during our time together. Her infectious smile and kind spirit had the power to brighten even the darkest of days, leaving us with a warmth that lingered long after we returned to Greece.
As we bid farewell to Grandma Min, we take solace in the beautiful memories and the lasting impact she has had on our lives. Her legacy of love, kindness, and family unity will forever remain in our hearts. While she may no longer be with us physically, her spirit lives on through the values she instilled and the love she shared during our precious visits.
Grandma Min, you will be deeply missed but never forgotten. Your love and the memories we created together, though limited in frequency, were limitless in depth and meaning. They will continue to guide and inspire Kalypso, Alkioni, Elli, Antonis, and myself.
May you rest in peace, knowing that you were truly loved and that your life touched ours in the most profound ways, bridging the distance between us with your boundless affection.
Ellena Jeffrey and family

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are.
Speak to me in the easy way which you always used.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
