LARISA DZYUBA was the third child and second daughter born to Nina Kucheryavvy and Ivan Kozhakarasu on May 26, 1978. From the day she was born until the day she was transformed to immortality on August 19, 2012 at the tender age of 34 while battling cancer, Larisa touched hearts with her vivacious spirit and was loved by everyone. We have lost a beautiful soul who has impacted each of us in her own special way. Her death has left us all filled with an emptiness and pain that is immeasurable but heaven will surely be blessed with her presence. Larisa is much loved and her memory will never be extinguished from our hearts. Please feel free to add your remembrances so we can celebrate her life and legacy. _______________________________________________ The family will receive friends at Advantage Funeral & Cremation Services, 1999 Georgia Highway 138 SE, Conyers, Georgia 30013 on Wednesday, August 22nd at 7:00 pm.
