Her strong dedication to the parish community was extraordinary. She welcomed everyone with a smile and her friendly ways. She handled issues with professionalism. She always answered the phone in a delightful manner with her lovely voice. Sophie converted her hardships in life to serving her family and parish community with utmost care and compassion. She loved her family dearly with all her heart. She always made everyone feel special with her kind and generous heart of gold. We are grateful to our family, friends, Priests, and all who helped take care of her.
