Sophia was a a warm, calm comforting part of my childhood. I tried to think of my fondest memory with Sophia. What I realized instead is that it was not one instance, not one memory. It was a feeling, a maternal comfortability that she brought.
That is what Sophia brought to my early years. Comfort…Like warm milk and freshly baked cookies. I
will always remember her… oooh Ricky ….

I’m very sad to hear of the passing of one of the kindest woman I’ve ever known. Sophi was my other mom. I remember so many times of sitting in her kitchen, eating great food and drinking coffee. I remember her laugh as she put up with us three musketeer, Bob Gerry and myself. So many hours, days and years of laughing. Thank you Sophi for your kindness, your caring and your smile, laughter and love.

Coming up on a year I still think about you all the time. I am stronger now than I was a year ago and now no longer cry everyday from missing you. However even without tears I am still hurting. It will take years and years to accept the fact that you’re gone but I will never get over it. I’m so very glad that I got to spend 21 years with you although there were times I didn’t appreciate you as much as I should have. I know you’re watching down on me everyday and I know I have a guardian angel to keep watch over me. Please never leave my side. I miss you and I love you. Tell grandpa I say hello. Love you forever, Jennifer.
