Sophie Rose Barton

 April 9th 1993- June 28th, 2010

This is a life that is beyond comparison. Sophie Rose Barton taught me more than I ever could have asked for! She set the most amazing example of spirit, act, deed, service, and friendship. She is beautiful in every way, and I am so thankful for her life. She accomplished her earthly task in only 17 short years, a task most of us take a life time to achieve. Her inspiration:

Humility

Bigger Person

Thankful for what you have

Laughing always

Being happy

Gospel strength

Putting the gospel first

Music

Reaching out to others

Not judging

Understanding

Forgiving

Don't settle too long, for too less

Those are just some of the main points that I have learned from Soph's life. Because of her I want to take every opportunity for friendship, everyone has a story to tell and something to teach. I never want to take for granted my family and I should never miss an opportunity to tell them how much I love them. You never know when a simple note can mean the world to someone. Because of her I want to never judge anyone, and give everyone a chance. And most of all I want her to never be forgotten <3

"The years have come and gone and your still standing strong
oh I've never met anyone like you.
You stay up late at night, work until the morning light
oh your making all our dreams come true
when I look into your eyes, something in me comes alive
oh i just hope you know that
you really do shine through and I know i never showed it enough, but I wrote this just for you
so you can see your light shines on me
and I know your never giving up on me.

I've been thinking of the memories.

I want you to be there when your gone, I want you to hear me sing my song

you are the one who calls my name, and I'll always think of you the same

cause you really do shine through and I know I never show it enough

but I wrote this just for you

so you can see your light shines on me and I know your never giving up on me"

Love and miss you always
