Sophie Howard was born on 09 December 1911 in the town of West, Texas and went to be with her Lord today, 22 December 2009…she was 98 years old.
Her health has slowly been deteriorating for several months and her quality of life had been diminished to nothing. My dad called last night and told us we needed to prepare ourselves as hospice was giving her less than five days. My brother Eric and I met my dad at the assisted living facility less than two hours ago…and my dad just called back to let us know she had passed… I am so glad that I took the time today to say goodbye in my own way.
GiGi – as we affectionately called her, “…because great grandmother is too much for those boys to say…” – was a strong Czech woman, a devout Catholic, a wonderful mother and the best grandmother and GiGi a man could ask for.
Rest in peace GiGi and tell Saint Peter to save a kolache or two for the rest of us when we make it up there to be with you…we love you!
