There is a tradition in Greece that you remember the people, that are not longer with us, at certain times after their death. A year after is important and this is why Peter Broadley, her husband, wants to remember his wife Maria Broadley.
On Wednesday the 22th of February Maria is remembered and anybody who wants to join Peter can meet him at the cemetery at 12 o’ clock where Peter will give a small speech and raise a glass to Maria. After that everybody who wants to, can join him, in the Gialos taverna in the harbor where Syrian food will be on the menu. (donations will be given to doctors without borders)
What a lovely way to remember Maria!
I will always have lovely memories of Maria and the Dolphins xxxx
I had a small glass at 10.00 so I could join you all. Love to you Pete .
Loved you Maria. See you on my way back up the hill once in a while xxxx
You will be in my thoughts Peter. I will raise a glass to Maria. x
Maria will always be fondly remembered by us.
A long time ago perhaps, but I have a memory of you lugging Jerry cans back to the lorry near some Legion fort in, well, somewhere hot. Another memeory of Maria chopping wood in a damp Rwanda and trying to educate me in some Egyptian stuff while big bugs head-banged the lit up lorry’s canvas one night.
All good fun.

Take care.
