There are too many memories after 50 years of life with my mom. She was a strong, courageous, and amazing woman who fought hard for life until the very end. She has taught me to love even when it's the most difficult thing to do. You only get one mom and I'm glad God blessed me with her as my mom. While it is difficult to let her go, she will always be in my heart and I will cherish memories of her forever. YOU WERE A GREAT MOM! I WILL MISS YOU AND CARRY WITH YOU WITH ME IN MY HEART EVERYWHERE I GO. I LOVE YOU!!!!

My heart goes out to the family. I've only known the family for a short time and have never seen a family so loving, accepting, and awesome. I'm blessed to have the chance to get to know them.

I enjoyed spending time with Sozy while visiting the week before she passed. We laughed, cried, and had a good time talking. Sozy has impacted my life tremendously.

My favorite memory of Sozy was when she watched rock videos of Poison, Ozzy, and other 80's Rockers for 3 1/2 hours with me and Jenine, asking me about the bands. That was so awesome! Sozy, you will truly be missed!

Love you Sozy!
