My thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends of Sofia. It was a sad day at Childtime when they got the news of what had happened. Her smile will be greatly missed but never forgotten. My daughter and I will cherish the memories we have of her and their time together at Childtime. She was and always will be a princess.
Sincerely,
Ashley and Emily

You do not know me, but I wanted to share how very sorry I am for your loss. Looking at that precious baby girl's photo brought me to tears. May God bless you both and keep you all safe.

Although we may not always comprehend the reasons behind our most tragic life circumstances, we are able to distill meaning from them. The meaning lies in the purpose of events. Purposes ranging from an increased devotion in helping the less fortunate, to a spiritual realization that we must personally strive for a better way of living.
Obviously, there are no words to comfort your pain, but once again, there is meaning to transform a tragic situation into a prosperous one that aids others.
Many thoughts and prayers. I see your pain.
