<div itemprop="description">Georgia Eliopoulos-Papakostas (1956-2016) <br> <br>Georgia first saw the light of life on December 1st, 1956 in Montreal. <br> <br>Her elementary schooling was completed at Socrates school at Agia-Triada in Montreal from 1962 until 1965. <br>She completed her high school program at Montreal High and then went on to complete the CEGEP program at Dawson College. <br>I first met Georgia in 1974 at Dawson College and we were there for one year together until she got accepted at McGill University in the Education program in 1975. <br> <br>When I completed my CEGEP program, I enrolled at McGill University in 1976 and was back with Georgia again for one year. She completed her studies in 1978 and in 1979 completed my studies as well. <br> <br>The first major milestone in our lives was our marriage in 1979 when we decided to tie the knot after 5 years together. It was long in the tooth so the decision was an easy one to make. <br> <br>Georgia started teaching in 1981 at Ecole-Socrates the elementary level grades (1-6) and from the onset she was a natural teacher and excellent with her students throughout her 33 year career. <br> <br>The second and third major events in our lives were the births of our children Constantine in 1985 and Stefania in 1993. <br>Since both our children attended Socrates school, I used to go regularly at the parents teachers’ nights for marks and the like. I remember vividly that she was one of the busiest teachers when parents would visit her for information regarding their children and their performance in school. <br>She always took the time to answer every question with patience and professionalism. She never cut corners and always used to tell me: “Tasso this is my work. I love it and I am going to do it right.” <br> <br>In the past 33 years I would always hear praises from her fellow colleagues, students, parents, friends and relatives. Georgia was a shining light. She was a great spouse, great mother to our children and a great friend. Always compassionate and understanding when anyone had a problem. <br>She was angel on earth and now she is an angel in heaven looking out for us and protecting us from the pitfalls of life. <br>We love you Georgia and will never forget you. May you rest in peace. <br> <br>Your husband Tasso. <br></div>
