Tracey, Lori, Julie and Danny. We are so sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. Tom was Marv's friend and I worked at Prudential Ins. with Sophie. We introduced them one New Year's eve and the rest is history. We loved them both and have a special place in our hearts for them. I'm sure your hearts are full of wonderful memories of your Mom. Ours are too. So very sorry for your loss.

I have many very happy memories of Sophie. We met many years ago when we worked together at NMC Homecare and then at American Homecare Supply. We shared our Polish traditions and Polish food challenges. Through the ups and downs, no better friend could there be. She talked of her family often and loved every one of you. She is now with her husband, Marv and at peace. Keep remembering the wonderful joy she brought to you. I will always remember those good times and the friendship she gave to me.
