A letter to Mom 20 years ago

December 9, 1994

Dear Mom,

We live in a world where nothing remains the same. However, you are the constant in our lives.

My life has become bearable and livable due to you. Those enduring qualities you possess, others can only attempt to strive for.

Let’s set the record straight. If anyone knows the unspoken truths. I do. Embarking on board faced with all of this personifies your courage.

You've done an extraordinary job and remain a beacon of hope to all of us.

We are grateful.

Happy Birthday!

Love, Dean

An open letter from Sophia's son Dean Mamakos:

Sophia Mamakos

February 8, 2015

Last night at 10:40 PM our mother passed on in her own way and on her own terms.

She inspired us to see the nobility of helping others, the power

of personal courage and most of all the sanctity of family.

Her eternal wish was that her children turn out to be

extraordinary, honest, and unspoiled and with a character equal

to hers.

With admiration, love and gratitude, for the inspirations and the dreams she gave all of us, we say goodbye to Sophia today.
