Born on November 18, 1921, in Voorburg, Holland, Sophie was 7 months pregnant when Tony sailed to Canada to prepare the way for her. Sophie along with her newborn and two other children followed shortly after to Stratford, Ontario in 1953, where she set up house for Tony and their three, then four, then five children. Upon retirement Tony and Sophie toured “this great country” from coast to coast. In 1997 Tony and Sophie moved to Kincardine where they enjoyed daily walks by the lake, and where Sophie swam marathons in the local pool twice a week, well into her 90’s.
Mom, When Dad passed away you told us that he, maybe, was going ahead, again, to prepare a place for you. Sister, Mother, Grandmother, Great-Grandmother, Great-Great-Grandmother, we love you and miss you, but we know that you are where you finally want to be … with the man you love, in your little cottage by the sea. God bless you both.
