To The Sherbeth Family, So sorry to hear of Sophie’s passing. She was always so sweet and nice to me. Glad I got to visit with her a few years ago when I was in Lundar. So glad I got to visit with Gary the last time I was home. So sad I haven’t visited with Grace in SUCH a long time. Miss you guys! My sincere condolences to the family. I think of all of you often. I used to love coming on the school bus and spending the night, even the time Kurt jumped out of the hay loft and broke his arm. My thoughts and prayers are with you. - Posted by: Brenda Sigurdson (Hayward) (Friend) on: Nov 08, 2013

My sincere condolences to the family, especially the ones who took great care of her during her difficult times. She was a very friendly, compassionate lady, who I will miss dearly. Especially my little "stop-ins" when there was always some baking and coffee ready. She also used to come and visit us at the lake, while camping. Rest in peace, dear Sophy - Posted by: Joanne van Collenburg (friend) on: Nov 05, 2013

Sophie was the most giving friend I've ever known and such a character too....loved every minute I ever spent with her, and although my disabilities prevented our excursions to the city and tea drinking through the night these past few years...she was always in my thoughts. Gonna miss ya Sophie, you were quite the lady! - Posted by: Wendy & Jim Chartrand & family (friend) on: Oct 29, 2013

My sincere condolences to Sophie's family during this sad time. A special thanks to the children that loved and cared for her these past years. I am truly sad that I am here in Europe and I am not able to be there as time is a factor. A special thank you, from my heart, to Garry for always being there for his Mother. May God in his mercy, grant her eternal rest and peace. - Posted by: Jennie Galipeault (Sister) on: Oct 29, 2013
