It is so sad that Lu has passed but at least she in a better place now and finally out from underneath the control and influence of that pathetic excuse of a son and human being Gerald Tcimpidis!
9 Mar 2010 – from Michael Juhola
When I first met Lula she had bright eyes, and a ready laugh. It was a joy to visit with her. As time passed, it became difficult to watch her continued decline both mentally and physically. While I never wish for a person to die, I know Lula is now in a better place where she can laugh again.
9 Mar 2010 – from David Tcimpidis
In spite of the fact that I am indicated as her stepson, I never really knew Lu as well as I should have. However, she opened her house to me the three years I was a student in New York City, and was a gracious hostess and probably the only one I could talk with in the household. We shared with each other on a regular basis, and this was a great comfort for me. We spoke of many things those days, and I remember her, very fondly.
