As I think of our Thea Maira. I cannot help but smile. She was always more concerned about how we were doing and quick to dismiss any discomfort she had. She always led with a smile and a huge hug that was infectious. I found myself smiling after being around her if only for a minute or two. She had that magnetic personality and she radiated happiness. I hope that after all this time of caring for everyone else and making sure we were all safe and happy, that she is at peace, that she can finally rest and that she is happy and free. We will miss you Thea. xoxoxoxoxox Bill, Donna, Danielle and Christopher Aggelakos.
