family, Sophie was predeceased by her sisters, Maria, Annie, Barbara,

family, friends and care givers. The family would like to offer
special thanks to Dr. Kadagoda, Dr. Archibald and the caregivers and
nurses at the Cove Guest Home for their tremendous loving care,
especially in Mom’s final days. A very special thank you to Dr. Ritter
