When we moved to Indian Road 14 years ago, Sophie & Stefan were the first people we got to know. They made us feel so incredibly welcome, & were the greatest neighbours anyone could ever hope to have. Her passing leaves a huge hole in this neighbourhood where the heart used to be. Our deepest & most sincere condolences to her loving family.

Sending our deepest condolences to the family. There are few people in life where one can honestly say I'm a better person because I got to know you - and I can say this about Sophie. We'll forever cherish her wonderful and generous spirit. She is a light that will shine forever.
