Sophie Teresa Janczur

I found these photos on my phone from 2016 from Stretch and Tone class that she had attended close to 5 decades

I just learned of Sophie’s death. I first met her in my Stretch and Tone class and there learned of her passion for art. She had a great sense of humor and a robust love of life.

My wife and Sophie became friends, and she loved visiting Sophie to talk and catch up on things. Everyone in the...
