From Elena Synesi on 18/2/2008

Dear 'Sia Oulla', I'm so glad i've finally come across your site to leave you a message! Another year has come and gone, and now we have lost uncle Frixos too. Although we are all in deep pain, i'm comforted in the fact that our lost is your gain, and that you are both back together again, waiting for the rest of us to eventually join you! I know when I join you both Uncle Frixos will be there by the souvla ready to give Elenio a little sample as he always use to, with lemoni of course! As you can see from the other messages that the family have left you, we all miss you very very much. Especially your little pearls of wisdom, that of course your sister still teaches me and Litsa daily! Everytime I teach my students something which involves 'the route of the word is Greek' I can almost see you at the back of the class sitting there proud and nodding your head in agreement! I've always had many heroes in my life that I looked up to. Singers, sportstars and of course my cousins, but when I looked up what it meant in the dictionary, I discovered another person who I considered a real hero. Here's what it said, 'a person distinguished by exceptional courage and nobility and strength'. Well if that doesn't describe you Aunty Youlla, I don't know what does. It is in memory of your strength and courage through the last year of your life, that I will never stop trying to make you proud, because i know you're shining down on me from heaven! Love you always, Elena xxxx
