A sad event but a good gathering

It's always nice when a large family can get everyone in one place at the same time, but generally it seems the only time that can happen is for a sad or happy event, a funeral or a wedding. This one happened to be the former. Yia Yia passed away on Tuesday, August 21st. She was 84 years old and it was something that we all knew was imminent (but that didn't make any easier). The funeral and burial were on Friday. Family traveled in from all parts of the country to say their final goodbye. The sparkling stars of the event that you couldn't help but smile at were the babies. Soo many little ones. After all the formal events Jenn & Louie were very gracious and had everyone over to their house. It was great, a home bustling with noise, laughter and love everything Yia Yia would have wanted. In the Greek tradition we say "may her memory be eternal", I can promise that I'll never forget.
