Sophie and her sons made me feel like one of the family. She supported all of us, like no
one could. Seamstress, cook, cake decorator, chauffeur, den mother, referee, friend and Mom, you name it, she could do it. When I would leave her house she would say "don't forget where I live". Now she lives in Heaven and she will also live in a place in my heart. Her 6th son, (Big)John Ulrich.
