Dear Balouris family of Chicago,
More than 50 yrs ago your father and our fathers came to this country for a better life. They left little Marmari for the USA and transplanted the Balouris name here. I remember when I worked at Evanston Hospital in 1985 and I drove into Chicago and found your home,,,,,blue and white and I knew that there was a Balouris that lived there!! May you always remember the love and pride and honor that he had and brought with him. May his memory be eternal. Chris A. Balouris

Dear Cousin Nick and Family,
Our deepest sympathies on the loss of your father, John. We prayed for him on Sunday at a Trisagion Service at Holy Trinity Church in Pittsburgh.
We had the opportunity to visit with Theo Kosta and Theo Frangouli this past summer in the village. Both are extremely robust. Frangouli still tends his farm each day, and Kosta helps dock the ferry boats arriving from Rafina several times a day.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. May his memory be eternal! Zoe se sas!
