I knew Sophia Shelton from back in 1970's. What a woman. Her life was a beacon of encouragement. I am certain the LORD has heavenly rewards for her, because she was so caring and kind hearted.

To the family of Sophia....I am a registered nurse who worked for many years with Sophia in the neonatal unit at Children's Hospital........what a lovely lady she was, always kind and gentle with the babies and always patient with the staff. We so depended on her. Also when I worked on the night shift she made us popcorn and she would always ask for a young person or a tall person to reach down the coffee pot. We were so lucky to know her and hope that you will find comfort now that she is in a better place and probably still feeding babies.

love and blessings always to you
