Though I did not personally know Constatina, I know her daughter Ann and her granddaughter Andriana. My family's thoughts and prayers are with the Henson family and know they are taking comfort knowing Constatina is reaping her rewards in heaven.

Great Yia Yia made every one happy in many ways. She loved birds, making hats, doing puzzles, doing cross word puzzles, going to the casino, telling jokes and spending time with her family. She always tried to give us money, hats and earrings. She would eat chocolate and other types of candy. She would always lose her teeth only to find them in her pocket. She could have lit up the the world in one day. Great Yia Yia was great and will really be missed by me. I love you Great Yia Yia.
