Pota and Paraskevi Theodorakopoulos

It is deepest sorrow mom and I learnt of the passing of your beautiful mom, Mrs Kanellopoulos. With sincere sadness we offer our condolences to Pota, Afroditi (and her family), and Georgia. I, Pota and Pota K became friends volunteering and soon thereafter met her sisters. We got to enjoy each other’s company and each other’s moms through the years, as our friendship blossomed. Mrs K was a kind and sweet soul who always looked after us, offering to cook a meal if we had gone out of town, so upon arrival home, as I dropped off Pota, we can enjoy her delicious food and kind hospitality. This hospitality was her calling card for everyone that knew her, she joined us « girls » for a chat around her table and then left so we discuss amongst us. This showed her kindness and devotion to building bonds that stood the rest of time. She was a pillar for her family instilling hard work values in her daughters, as they took over her late husband’s cleaning business. She raised them, lacking nothing, but devoting herself and her love to them all. Around her table she recounts how Charles was taken by Afrodit and how that romance blossomed. Her words were few but her advise worthy of knowledge. She like my mom, was a dedicated mother that never hesitated to show her love to all who entered her home. It’s this I think of now, as I recall these lovely moments. One extra special memory we all shared was when Pota and Georgia and I took our mom’s out for Mother’s Day brunch. Georgia treated us and we enjoyed the day and time after brunch posing for photos we all still have and cherish deeply. I look at them often. As life would have it, our BBQ got cancelled when Georgia preparing cut her hand, so we missed out on another great afternoon with our moms. All to say, the day I painted and got ingestion disturbance, Pota and Georgia were quick to pop by and check up on me. As they rang our doorbell and visited, we got to share coffee and mom showed off her garden. Pota and Georgia went home with a plant that dawned their lawn table for them and their mom to enjoy. These fondest memories provide solace to know that although the three sisters will be missing their beautiful mom, they were raised well by a strong woman with values. I wish miss Mrs K deeply as she was always vocal with the sincerest and truthful advice. May her memory be eternal. To my dear friends and their family as well as extended relatives, may this precious soul RIP and rise to The Right of The Father then sit next to her late husband, in after life. You will be missed Mrs K. RIP
