Aunt Sophie, Sophie Konotchick Kelly, was my father's sister, her husband, Joe, was my mother's brother, and she was my favorite Aunt. She was the last close relative of mine from her generation. I have often told her and her children that she has always been an inspiration to me. Regardless of whatever trials life presented her with, and there were many, she always managed to make the best of the situation. I will remember her as a loving, loyal, happy, athletic, intelligent, and caring woman that was good to me, and to those around her.
