In Memory of
Lusatzeen (née:Shalvarjian) Buchaklian
In loving memory of my maternal grandmother whose courage, perseverance, and faith, I honor.
A young widow of an Armenian Legionnaire whose beloved husband, Khachadour, had been killed by Turks in Smyrna, Lusatzeen managed to escape the fires while carrying her little girl in her arms. The little girl was my mother, Mari Samessian, who was a life long member of the ARS Blue Cross of Greece & the "Soseh" Chapter of Racine.
