Sophia's own words:

Don't cry for me because I am gone, I'm cozy and warm in God's loving arms. To my two loving girls whom I love so much; please don't cry. I know someday you will feel Gods loving touch. To my loving husband whom I love with all my heart; you know we won't spend too long apart. In life we did everything together, we will do again in summer weather.  God will welcome us to heaven and say "follow along and never again will we be alone" .
