She was 22 months when the angels from heaven came down and took her from her family. In her short life she was loved by many. Sophie enjoyed playing in the water at Bass Lake and riding on the wave runner with her grandfather. She loved to play outside with her brothers, sisters, and her cousins. She warmed our hearts with her laughter and smiles. Sophie loved to get into things and situations that would get her into trouble. She would give us one of her smiles and all would be forgotten until the next time. Sophie also enjoyed climbing on her dad and playing games with him.
