Jean, Helen, Wanda, Bertha, Bernie and John: No matter her mood, no matter her disabilities, Aunt Sophie always had a big smile for me and an even bigger one when she met Sean. We would communicate as best we could for as long as we could. That is the way I choose to always remember her...her smile, her interest in how I was yet someone who never was a recipient of the abilities we all have and take for granted. I pray that she is with God now, finally, hearing the sweet music of heaven.
