I spent many years taking care of Ms. Sophie. She was such a beautiful and kind soul. She was unwavering in her faith and her concern for everyone around her was inspiring. You never ceased to amaze me sweet Ms. Sophie. I pray that I am even half as independent and headstrong as you, and able to live as long and retain my humor, wit, and grace as you did. Always remember, God loves you and so do I xoxo
