“Dear Sophie Family, Our love goes out to all of you as you remember and say good bye to your beautiful mother and grandmother. Wish you we could be there in person but know that your mom will always have a special place in our heart. She was there for Angie when she needed it most. So happy they had the opportunity to know each other and able to see each other one last time during Autumn's Baby Shower. Sending much love, David, Angie and Heather Jensen.

“Eileen, I’m so sorry to hear about your mom. She and I were in Godspell together back in the ‘90’s and it quickly became apparent what a sweet and loving soul she was; more recently I loved running into her at the St. Joe’s fish fries. Sending love and warmth, Sara Roltgen”
