Sophie, may your memory continue to live on in those you loved. I think of you often, and still have little things you gave me that are reminders of our special friendship. I know in my heart and soul that you and Audrey are together and watching over those you both loved. Until we meet again, Pat

Sophie's Family.
We were so sorry to hear about your Mom. Sophie lived at Tamarack Apartments while we were managers there. When I first met her, I always thought she was mad at me, then as we got to know her, we also cared a great deal for her. John Zalenski was remembering the day she drove up onto the back porch. We always loved her lemon cake. Marylou Vedella also sends her prayers your way. Sophie lived next to MaryLou and Pat Vedella on South Legion, Pat Vedella passed away late last year and Marylou has relocated to Seneca Caz Apartments.
We will miss her a lot and keep her in our prayers. Although she will not need any prayers, she did enough praying to take care of all of us. We will remember her always.
Love from Rich and Joan Dunham

Dear Dave, Jim & Audrey,
Although I expressed my deepest sympathy at the funeral home, I would like to add more personal reflection. Your mother was not only a wonderful Mother-In-Law, but also a fantastic friend. She taught me many things before and after I became part of the family. I still have the afghans she lovingly and patiently helped me to crochet when I was 18 yrs. old. She was a true inspiration in her tiredless efforts in raising you children after your father passed away--She worked very hard both at home and at work. Through the years we kept in touch with the occasional phone call and birthday and Christmas cards; and the last time I saw her, she welcomed me with open arms. I'll never forget her fun side when all of us got together and played cards. I truly loved your Mom and she'll always hold a special place right next to my heart.

Once again, it was nice seeing all of you and let's keep in touch.

God Bless,

Donna Kerler (Kobylanski)

Dear David, Jimmy, and Audrey,

I am so sorry to hear about Aunt Sophie passing.

On one of my visits to Buffalo, I remember the luncheon at my parents house with your mom, Aunt Florence, Aunt Rosie, Uncle Eddie and Audrey. We all had a fun time and lots of laughs.

As a child, I remember your mom stopping by our house each week, after work, with the raffle tickets.

You're in our thoughts and prayers.
Donna, Steve, Kristen, Kelly & Allison Kerler

Sophie Przybylak is a long established member of Saint Teresa's Parish. She has been a well respected parishioner and South Buffalonian. Her interest in her community and in particular, her parish, have always been evident. She will long be remembered for the strong support that she gave to parish fundrising. Sophie knew many people which always allowed her to be one of our top ticket sellers. She raised many dollars for her parish and its outreach to the community.

Sophie's committment to the parish was only topped by her personal devotion and faith. Like clock work each week, she would always be in the sacristy to have her three candles lit. Afterwards, one would find her in deep prayer. Her example was always a inspiration to others.

I commend her family for the wonderful attention that they showed her. There was always someone to bring her to Mass as she got older. Know that Sophie will be in my prayers in a very special way and that I will remember each of you during this hard time. For years Sophie prayed before those different saints to ask their intercession. Now, we can pray to Sophie for her intercession. May this wonderful lady rest in peace.
