I know that this is ten years late but to the family of my maternal Granduncle Edmund's wife I offer my sincere condolences on your loss. I lost my mom this past September so i can feel what the loss of a family member feels like. Even though you have never met me i still offer my condolences.

I had the pleasure of visiting Miss Sophie with my dog Scamp on one of these visits we met one of her daughters. Well Scamp decided to sneak out of his leash to run down the hall. Well Sophie had the best laugh and smile from ear to ear. I wish I had known Miss Sophie sooner. Scamp and I will miss her but will remember that smile and laugh. Love Melissa & Scamp
