Dino Taronis [Del Sol HS] wrote a sympathy message

“Thea Penny always had a smile on her face and traditional Greek sweets in the kitchen waiting for anyone who would arrive at her door. Her kindness, generousity, zest for life, and traditions will live on in those of us who were lucky enough to know her. Our thoughts and prayers are with her daughters Patty and Maria and the rest of the family. Our love to all, Antonia and Dino Taronis”
