My deepest condolences to the Sodyl family...Jane helped us buy our first house, introduced us to the cathedral church we became friends quickly, she also helped me to obtain my real estate license and became my mentor. Sorry i can't make it to the funeral as i have lost my mom and the burial is on the same week end. May you all find healing in christ.
