    Troy Vasos says:
    Mom: I know that you already know all of this but I wanted make sure...... In your passing I lost a lot of things. I lost my first girlfriend. my first love and someone who has loved me my entire life. You helped teach me how to love, to give love and to BE LOVED. You always supported us no matter what we wanted to do even when you were kind of against it. I am going to miss our long talks, dinners out and how we always found a way to laugh about everything no matter how difficult the subject. I see many characteristics in me that I learned from you and one I use the most often is Negotiating. You where always either working the art of a good deal or driving home your point about how people could make peace with one another. Mom, I'm going to miss you immensely!! I have no idea how to fill the void Dad and now you have left in my heart. I know that life goes on and I will continue to strive to be the best husband, father, friend, person and some day "Zayde" (grandfather) I can be. I think this will be the best way I can honor both you; Mom and Dad. With all of my love forever, Troy
