Our thoughts and prayers go out to Chris, Ray and all of our extended family. I'm so thankful I got to visit with Aunt Sofi at the family reunion this year. I will always remember her living life actively, being interested in everyone while being interesting to everyone. And the way she loved my dad.

Love,
Laurie
