To Sophie's Mom,
I am so sorry for your loss. I to loss a daughter at the age of 17, it was seven years ago last month. I wish I could say I am better after seven years but I would be lying. I miss her everyday. I really kind of shut down the month of October and today I just heard about your daughter listening to Nancy. My heart breaks for you! My daughter was lucky enough to have met your husband due to Football Friday's, she was a cheerleader.
I wish I had some words to help the pain but I don't. Hang on to your memories and speak of her or to her everyday, she is listening. She is an Angel in Heaven and we will be with them again. What a day it will be when my Angel I can see! I know that my Angel and your Angel are soaring in the Heaven's together. Two beautiful perfect Angel's watching over everyone they love. I hold on to how thankful and LUCKY was I to have my daughter if only for 17 years. She was a gift from God!
November 17, 2012
I talk to Sophie every day and we discuss the Lovely time Sophie is enjoying in her new home in heaven with the other Angels. I miss talking to Sophie as we always made time to do when we met.We always always complimented eachother on our Dress or Hair style.
We made time for eachother and that time was special.
Now I pass Prayers to Sophie our special Angel and my prayers are answered quickly.
I Love You and Miss You SOPHIE CAPI

I am saddened to the core to hear of young Sophia's passing. If nothing else, may you find peace in the knowledge that our life here on the earth is brief, nothing compared to the eternities we will share with our loved ones. Families can be together forever. Until then, may God bless you with faith and strength to endure.

Sofie was as cute as cute could be
Precocious and smart is what I could see
She hung out with Gera and swam with Blaique
Spent the night with us making all the noise they could make
When I worked out she put the cats away
“Don't worry about your allergies” she would say
Sofie loved her mother and siblings too
Her presence impacted most people she knew
My memories of her will last a life time
She's in your heart and forever in mine!
God Bless You All
Love Gerri, Lorenzo, Blaique and Gera Brown

I had religion class with Sophie at Saint Francis, and I would always look forward to hanging out with her every week. She was hysterical and so much fun- we would always get in trouble because she made us laugh so hard! It's really hard to know that she's not here anymore, but she and your family will always be in my thoughts and prayers. Best wishes.

Janet, words could never tell you how heart broken I am over the loss of your dear Sophie. I always knew you would have a wonderful family as you did. You were one of the lucky ones with the best mom and dad God could send. Because of Him, you were a wonderful mother and Sophie knew it and so do your other children and friends. Your dad and Sophie are walking hand in hand through the garden with the Lord together today, and, they are happy. God Bless you and yours.
