❤️. ❤️. ❤️Dear Sophie, we had a friendship that started 57 years ago when 11 of us were thrown together in School 33 at CGH. That friendship continued with reunions, lots of chatter, support, food and the odd wine or 2. That friendship resumed after the each reunion. To Sophie’s daughters and grandchildren, she was so proud of you. Although I never met you, I felt like I knew you, I shall treasure the memory of that friendship. Jacque , Melanie, Megan and Carley, you have my deepest condolences

🌹🌹Oh Soph you are missed so much already. I spent 20+ years with this lovely Lady. Soph would greet everyone with her beautiful smile. She was perfect Mother hen trying to keep her 4 little chicks out of danger. She could not do enough for her chicks. We were good friends right up to end. Gie and I will miss you so much. Love you Soph.
September 25, 2025It is my greatest sadness for the loss of my beautiful sister Sophie Swan (Zofia nee Frasunek ) the youngest daughter of Jozef and Anna Frasunek.
Sophie and I were true friends. We frequently wrote long letters to each other. Then talked at length from the telephone booth, home phone and in modern times the mobile phone wherever we were. We had laughs, we consulted and counselled each other; Sophie always ended on a positive note.
Sophie loved and is loved by her four beautiful children of many talents and her four grandchildren, also her extended families and many friends: a colourful life.
Sophie, you have left us unexpectedly, but you have left us with your love. In time we will meet you in your Heavenly home, happiness forever with the Lord. Look upon us and pray for us. Till then we will cherish your memory. RIP
September 25, 2025I am greatly saddened at the loss of my dear sister-in-law she was like a true sister and friend. Zoshu I will sorely miss you.

October 1, 2025Sending you love and comfort during this difficult time and thank you so much for sharing this service! I could attend from Germany 🇩🇪, where Sophie came to visit with Jacquie a long time ago. She became my adopted mum from the other part of the world somehow 🤷🏻♀️. I’m glad we met and my husband and I could help her to see her birth place and we learned about her origin. We had a beautiful time together and I’m very grateful that we got to meet her 🙏🍀Fly high and free beautiful Sophie ❤️🌸you will be in our hearts
