I just finished writing my eulogy for my best friend. I am going to miss you more than words could ever explain. Sonya I know you are watch down on us. Just know Clara will be safe with all of us.

I will never understand why God would take someone so young. I will never understand why God would take someone so sweet and kind. I am really going to miss you, Sonya. I don’t know if the impact that you made on my life can even be calculated. You made me a better man. You made me the happiest I have ever been. I Will ALWAYS LOVE YOU. I WILL ALWAYS LOVE CLARA. I know someday I will see you again. Heaven has gained another angel. I will miss you My Little Butterfly.

Update: I had not planned on post the text of the eulogy, but I have had a few of her friends and co-workers ask to read it. The link below is to a written version of the eulogy. I was extremely emotional that night and did not follow my notes as written.

Eulogy of Sofia DeSandro

At this moment I am visually shaking, and I can’t stop crying. Last week my best friend, who I loved more than anything in the world, was tragically lost. She was only 38 years old and had a major impact on the lives of so many. A few moments ago, I finished and submitted her Obituary to the funeral home.

Trying to put in words just a small part of Sofia’s story and the feeling of all of us who loved her was the most difficult thing I have done in my life.

UPDATE: The Obituary is now live on the internet.

Obituary of Sofia B DeSandro of Mundelein, Illinois

I am sitting outside the funeral home waiting for the others to arrive. We may even have a visitation tonight. I am not sure how I am going to survive this night let the week.

Sofia, I don’t know if the impact that you made on my life can even be calculated. You made me a better man. You made me the happiest I have ever been. I Will Always Love You. I will always love Clara. I know someday I will see you again. Heaven gained another angel.

Well, not the best way to start 2023. I am really feeling miserable. Took my meds hope that will help. I really need to do some cleaning and downsizing today.

Less than half-hour remains in 2022. I am going to do everything I can to make 2023 a better year.

I have a doctor’s appointment this week. Originally the idea was to use this appointment to get referrals to other doctors so I could get things moving, but that may change some, because I have been feeling so bad.

Blood pressure and heart rate are both higher than they have been. I am still having breathing issues. And to make things worse I have anxiety issues both from my health problems and Financial problems.

I do hope anyone reading this has a happy new year.
