A day doesn’t go by that I don’t think of you. Mis you Sis.

Love,

Helen

Thinking of you and missing you today. The robin was here today.

I miss you, sweet sister. Enjoy your garden in heaven.

Dear family (Sean, Angela, Chris, Helen, Ed and extended family)

Sophie is a jr. high and high school friend that I spent many hours with, especially walking to and from our alma mater, Daniel McIntyre High School. On our daily walks to school, Sophie. Helen and I would chat and laugh about all the latest high school news that seemed so important at the time. Those were simpler days and later in life you realize how special they really were. I remember racing to catch the bus on Burnell on -40 days so that we would not arrive at school frozen to our bones (we were not allowed to wear pants to school in those days). Sophie and Helen were much better at getting to the bus stop before me as they were avid and talented sprinters. They would ask the driver to wait for me. Although our interests were quite different at school ( Sophie hung around the gym while I hung around the choir room), we remained close friends and I was honoured to be her bridesmaid. As life continued, our paths did not cross as often and eventually she moved to Calgary. We kept in touch with Christmas cards and infrequent Daniel Mac reunions. I remember seeing Helen at the most recent one and I was looking forward to seeing Sophie. Helen told me at that time that Sophie had just been diagnosed with breast cancer and was not able to come to Winnipeg. I tried to call 2 times in the last year. Once I left a message and once I was told the mailbox was full. I truly wish that we had connected once more while she was fighting cancer. She was a special friend that I laughed with, cried with and enjoyed many hours of friendship with. She will be remembered fondly by myself and my husband Barry (also a Daniel Mac alumnus. I still have our school pictures in a special memory box. If Sophie’s children are ever in Winnipeg, I would love to meet you as your mom was a special part of my life.

With love

Ingrid

Sophie was one of those very special people who I always admired and respected for her quiet determination, kindness to all, sense of humor, abundance of talent in academic and athletic pursuits and anything else she put her mind to. It is true in Sophie’s case that good things come in small packages. Even though distance between us meant our paths did not cross often, each time we managed to get together, it was like we were never apart. My life is richer for the friendship we shared and thoughts of her will forever bring a smile to my face and a tear of sadness for the loss.

I extend my sincere condolence to Sophie’s family and friends for their loss. She will be missed.

Not only was “Little Sophie” my sister Pat’s dearest friend for over 25 years, but “Little Sophie” as we all called her, was part of our family. We all loved her kindness, her wonderful sense of humor, her gentleness and how strong she was as she battled her cancer.

“Little Sophie” will be forever loved and sadly missed by us all.

With Love & Blessings to Sean, Angela, Chris, Ed & Helen,

We are deeply saddened by the passing of our friend Sophie. To both families we express our deepest condolences.

We have many fond memories of the past and Sophie will remain in our hearts for ever.

I was very saddened to read of the passing of Sophie. My heartfelt thoughts and prayers are with the Rzeszutek & Hendry families. My heart aches for you all.

When my son Adam called me at 10 pm on Wednesday night to let me know of Sophie’s passing, I was deeply saddened. Sophie was a wonderful and warm person. I always enjoyed talking to Sophie. I am grateful that Adam had such a wonderful relationship with the Hendry family. He has told me that he considered Sophie to be a second mom and that pleases me greatly. Sophie will be missed by everyone who ever knew her. My deepest condolences to Chris, Angie and Sean. Our thoughts and prayers are will you all. God will take care of Sophie now.
