In spite of the distance between us, Aunt Sophia was a light in my life. I loved talking with her on the phone and was so glad we managed to see each other when we could. I felt a strong connection with her and Uncle Burns and will treasure my memories with them. She made the world a better place just by being in it, and now she can work on Heaven! Love to you always, Aunt Sophia, Cindy & Family

Dear Burns: I am so sorry to hear of Sophie's passing. I know you and your family will miss her terribly as well as all her many friends. She always lit up a room when she entered - her comical sense of humor, the fantastic food she continually prepared and, of course, all the wonderful Salsa that she made for me to carry back on the plane to Denver. Her memory is special to me. Take care Burns, I think of you often. My condolences and love, Peggy Smith

Burns, our mothers were so similar. When I saw Sophie the other day she looked so much like Mama...couldn't speak or move and every breath was a struggle. I sat there and held your Mom's warm hand for about ten minutes and I believe that somehow she knew I was there with her, saying goodbye for the last time. That was the only time I ever kissed her on the cheek. Don't dare try to offer her a cheek. It was always the lips. All of us, the lips. Along with saying it, I think it was another one of her ways of saying I love you, but a little extra. I could always see the sincere joy in her eyes when we were all there. And it was always a joyful occassion for Nancy and me as well. Her cooking and baking were just marvelous. I lost my appetite every time I went there. She made everyone feel as though they were the only visitor there. How did she put up with all of us thugs throughout the years? She didn't care about who you were or what you did. If you were with one of her children you were OK...collect your smacker and walk on in. If anyone ever wanted to take a lesson in spiritual faith, loyalty or character, go to the Waggener's. There was plenty of it there. And the good news is that its been passed on to two more generations. I think our precious Lord liked me enough to make sure I went there, so some of it rubbed off on me. I love you, Buddy. But I'm not kissing you on the lips. Mike

Aunt Sophia was special to alot of people. I found her to be one of the kindest, sweetest people I have ever met. For reasons unknown to me, she and I found a special love for eachother that ended up bringing our families closer together after years of not much contact. Even though there were those years and many miles between us, that special love she had for us all made us come together for some great times. I will never forget my aunt and I'm honored that I had the opportunity to know her. Her loving ways have effected who and what I am. I offer my sympathy and love to my cousins and uncle Burns. I offer my eternal love to my aunt Sophia. I will miss her. Jimmie Eloff

My Mother-In-Law once, but always the only one in heart, you and I always knew that. My dearest friend for over 35 years as we shared your first born grand-son you so dearly loved the most. I will always keep our secrets and confidential issues you shared with me throughout the years and the prayers you have asked of me, well, they are still always on my heart between Our Father as they have been through out the years. You have given me the example and strength of how to protect my son as you have your own children, and for that I am so very grateful. You reminding me to never apologing for that, not once was the best advise I have ever received, although I have received many percecutions for it. You are the perfect example of a Mother and your influence helped shape my life to be the mother I was to your first born grand-son, Burns E. Waggener, IV. I love you so and miss you as much. See you again my dearest Sister in Christ Jesus our Lord.

It seems like yesterday, but yet years ago that you left. The weekly talks and prayers have fainted; and yet play freshly throughout my nights alone. So many tears, wishing you were still here when we all needed you so much. But I know you needed to go, you were tired. How would you have lead your family through such a crisis? Your dear friend Billie tried to comfort and lead your family, but he refused. Would you have scolded them to step aside and simply be a support and not run interference? Yes, because you were a woman of great integrity, love and character who loved her family and never appreciated anyone talking or behaving badly towards them or anyone. You set an example for me and lead me through 35 years with love and acceptance to always protect my son, your 1st born grand-son, no matter the cost, as you had your children. I tried Sophie, but lost. What would you tell me today, what would you tell them? I love and miss you so very much.
