Dear Francis, Aloma, Wendy, David and family,
Please accept our sincere condolences on the passing of Sophie. She was a wonderful, accomplished person who was as warm as she was friendly! Sophie and my Mom got along ‘ famously’ at Kelly and David’s wedding. It was so sweet to see them together! No doubt, she will be missed!
