Condolence From: Lia Hatzimanolis
Condolence: As I prepare to say my final goodbyes to you I remember the struggles you faced in life and what a strong fighter you were! You were such a strong women with such an undying faith in the Lord. You gave that cancer such a remarkable fight, right till the end. You taught me to be a fighter and to put my trust in God and he will always steer me in the right direction. The only solace I have today is that you are with the Lord and probably right next to him, we remember how you liked to be in the front row at church. Today we will rely in our faith that you instilled in us to get us through. RIP MOM your love will always remain in our hearts!❤️❤️❤️

Condolence: Billy, my thoughts and prayers to you and your family.May you find comfort and strength to get thorough his difficult time.
For those who do not know me, I am Billy's work wife, Lovey (17 years working with Billy) I had the great pleasure of attending a few functions at Crystals house.Crystal was a woman like no other, Very Giving, Loving,Devoted,Supportive,and Loyal.The list goes on and on. She will be missed but never forgotten.
What I remember most about Crystal was her giving and sharing spirit.
I owe My love for Greek food to her. Diples, Baklava, Kataifi, Kourambiedes, Spanakopita, Pastisio,and my very favorite Dolmades. She would make a special meatless order just for me, Billy would have to carry them into the office. (lol). Words can not express how much she will be missed. God needed an Angel, he called upon you to shine your Divine Light and Love upon us.
RIP Crystal.

Condolence From: Betsy Bottone
Condolence: So sorry to read that Crystal has died. We first met at the Bottone's farm stand when I had first married into the family. Crystal and I both loved the small cucumbers - and I think Aunt Mil hid some from me for Crystal. Over the years, Crystal and I shared our struggles and successes with our fights against cancer. We talked at the stand and the Pathmark. With both of those gone, I hadn't seen her in a while. Billy and Olympia, I remember you both from my years subbing at LHS. Your mom was a special lady.My sincere sympathy to you and all the family.

Condolence From: Rita Masini Goettlicher
Condolence: Some people ask me if I’m Greek. I say Greek by association. I grew up living next to Greek neighbors (think “my big fat Greek wedding” - it really resonated.”) I know few choice words, ‘hello, how are you, come here’ & some not so appropriate words. I’ve been to GOYA, I’ve celebrated Greek Easter & had my share of spanakopita. Crystal was a rare gem. She taught me the importance of good neighbors & shaped my view of strong loving motivating mothers. She raised three amazing good hearted & hard working children, demonstrated the ❤️ a dedicated marriage can bring with her dear ‘Jorge’ — She was there for me (and my mom/bro) in good times & bad. She taught me faith in god, the importance of giving to others less fortunate & opening your home to family & friends (yes food & more food). She fought the hard fight for many years always with courage. May she RIP in the arms of Yia Yia & Pappous—& know how much she was loved & will be missed. 💔 sincere condolences & much love always to Lia Hatzimanolis-Plutar Vasilios Hatzimanolis & Olympia Chamcham Mehdi Chamcham & her very adored Sofia #friendslikefamily
