Sofia will be dearly missed by her many relatives in Canada, the United States, Australia, Palestine, Israel and Jerusalem. The family extends a heartfelt thank you to her caregiver of many years Chams El-Haybe, the caring staff at Lanark Heights, and her many devoted friends at Shehrazad (Yaffa) at Oprington Drive. <br /> <br />Family and friends in the Kitchener-Waterloo area are welcome to attend a celebration of life on Thursday, January 7 from 6 - 8 p.m. at Shawky&rsquo;s Bistro (173 Roger St., Waterloo).
