Bob and Annie, we are so sorry to hear of Sophie's passing. She was a good sweet person and will be missed by many. I always enjoyed her "comments" when she didn't see me at Saturday night mass. Sometimes I had to tell her a small white lie. Molly and I are thinking of you and your family during these difficult times.
Love,
Gary and Molly
I am so sorry to hear that Sophie has died. I have lots of memories of traveling to Scottville with my parents to visit the farm, or for the Lithuanian picnics, and then later to Evanauski-Remeika-Ruzgis-Timinskis reunions at Deb and Jim Driza’s where we would try to plot out the genealogy of our families! I am grateful that my husband and I got to celebrate Sophie’s 90th birthday last summer along with her daughter Ann. We send our sympathy and love to the family.

What good times we had at the Lithuanian potlucks in Custer! Love from Sonia Lapenas Bergers.
We were very sorry to hear of the loss of your beloved mother. Please know that she and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. Bob still remembers going to her house for treat or treating and how nice she was. Love to you all now Bob and Linda Jacobson
I will remember Sophia because of her love of life and her family.
We always had good times at the Lithuanian picnics with Sophia and her family.
We have known Sophia and her family for over 40 years because her daughters, Ann and Alice,
are friends with my daughter, Alexandria.
Plus, we are fellow Lithuanians. We Lithuanians have to hang together because there are not too many of us left.
My family and Sophia's family have enjoyed many many life experiences together. The farewell to Sophia will be another life experience together.
Rest in Peace Sophia. Thank you for being you. You are a special woman.
Warm Regards to you and your children.
Alexis Lapenas Gestes-Bradow and her daughters, Emily, Francine, and Alexandria.

We met Sophie the summer of 2012 when we bought the house next door to her daughter and son-in-law Ann and Bob Banwell. Sophie and I became close friends over the past 8.5 years. We did a lot of fun things together and it was a privilege and blessing to call her my friend and to be able to help her out as her health began to fail. I will miss you Sophie but know you are in a better place now. In Heaven with the Lord. Love forever, Carole and Doug Miller
John and Pat, Please take comfort knowing your Mom is resting in the loving arms of our Lord Jesus. Walking for all eternity in the sunlight with her loving husband..
