“We didn’t want to say any goodbyes.
All we could do was pray for you with teary eyes.
Losing you was one of our greatest fears.
Now we have to reminisce with a face full of tears.
Seeing you go really tore our world apart.
We promise you will always be in our hearts.
You are no longer suffering or even in pain.
When God took you he made you whole again.
It saddens us that you had to go.
Pictures, love and memories are the only things left to show.
What that golden stairway with a smile on your beautiful face.
For God is waiting with open arms to feel your warm embrace.
God is holding your hand as he walks you home.
You may be gone but on earth your spirit shall forever roam.
Even though it turned out to be such a sad day.
Our hearts are smiling because an angel got her wings today.”

Words cannot express how sad I am with Sophia’s passing. The world went dimmer when she left it; but, the Heavens became brighter. She will be watching over her family and protecting them always. You all will have an Angel on your shoulder forever.

Dear Ricky and family – Although I never personally met your baby girl, I feel like I got to know her through your pictures. I can’t even begin to imagine the sorrow and sense of loss that you all must be feeling. Please know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers. May your little angel rest in peace. Sending you love and hugs.
