It’s almost too hard to pick just one memory. When I lived in Fla Aunt Elena sent you to my for some rest. We decided to go to the dog track. We each put up 25.00 and used that to place our very over analyzed picks. We used the very scientific method of examining the dogs before each race and picked the one that looked liked it hadn’t eaten in days. We ended up with $500 & celebrated with an expensive dinner.
When I was younger and you lived in your apartment in Edison your living room window face the drive in movie screen next door. You brought out the Big Ear and we were able to watch and hear the movie from your living room window. I loved your little red scooter you drove. It was awesome bouncing around So Plainfield on it. But I think the best was being with you, Uncle John and Uncle George in Memphis. It was great listening to all of you reminiscing about the past and of course the daily trips to the casino. I think Uncle George and I were the winners on that trip. I had to track each of you through the casino and made sure I carried snacks if you felt your sugar was going low. But just spending that time with the 3 of your was the best trip and I felt like that little princess again with my uncles. I’m going to miss our phone calls and it was a good thing we were both night owls. Btw you proved the fortune tellers prediction was correct. Rest well in God’s love and with your love my beloved Aunt Elena. Love you always your honey bunny Debbie

I remember Mr. Giakas as the inventor of Tricky Tubes and the creator of Rubba Lips. He loved life, his family and was a true gentle man with a basement filled with Amway Product.
