Mrs. Cal could light up a room with her smile and laughter. She was warm, open, generous and caring to everyone she met—family, friends, neighbors and strangers. To know Mrs. Cal is to gain an understanding of how the Greek culture created democracy and changed the world for the better. Everyone she touched is a better person. She was a very special person who will be remembered with Love by anyone fortunate enough to have known her.
May she Rest in Eternal Peace!
