ATHANASIOU
GEORGE H.
Apr. 4, 1920 ~ Feb. 11, 2003
Happy Birthday, my beautiful father!
Dad, the moment that you died, my heart was torn in two. One side filled with heartache, the other died with you. I ofte n lie awake at night when the world is fast asleep, and take a walk down memory lane with tears upon my cheeks. Remembering you is easy, I do it every day. But missing you is a heartache, that never goes away. I hold you tightly within my heart and there you will remain, until the joyous day arrives, that we will meet again.
Miss you so much, Daddy. I always will treasure the unconditional love and extended hand you always had for me.
All my love, your daughter, Angela Athanasiou (Grieser) Dolly
