Grandma Sophie will be missed soooo much! She was such a wonderful person. I have great memories of Thanksgivings at her home. One of my fondest memories is how on our birthdays she would send a box of homemade party favors!! These were so special because we didn't have a lot of money for big birthday celebrations, and the handmade favors were such a special treat.

She had a great gift of gab and would tell me that you have to "talk to people". I'll always remember that. I'll treasure the letters I have from her and her lovingly made quilts.

She was a thoughtful and kind person.

God bless you grandma, God bless you!

Sue:

Condolences on the loss of your mother. No matter what our age, it seems that the loss of one's mother always leaves an empty space in our life.

I have many fond memories of spending Christmas and summers with Aunt Sophie. My dad her oldest brother Joseph was very fond of his youngest sister. She shared many memories of them growing up in Michigan.

My mom(MaryAnn) and I really loved Aunt

Sophia. The best memory I have of her is

every time we would go to her house she

would let us go into the backyard and play

baseball and swing on the old tire. We will

miss her dearly.

Love, Debbie
