Carmene, Thanks for letting me share your Aunt Sophie. I will always remember this beautiful strong woman who was always there to encourage me with her kind and thoughtful words. I will miss her very much. My prayers are with you and your family at this time in your life. Remember we loved her but God loved her most. He needed a light to help him to brighten heaven a little brighter.

Love Always Debbie
