With tears we watched you suffer,
and watched you fade away,
with courage and concern for others,
you fought so hard to stay,
but God saw that you were weary,
and did what He thought best,
He gently took you in His arms,
and whispered come and rest,
– we all love you Dad, Pappou.
Following the service the funeral will leave for the Traralgon Cemetery, Gippsland Memorial Park.
Remembering mr Katiforis. My first job employed at their fish and chip shop in Marie Street in the 1970’s. Deepest sympathy to Mrs Katifiris, George Raina and Nick and families. Many happy memories.
