In case you missed it, here's a story that appeared last week in the Lindenhurst Patch: LINDENHURST, NY — A Lindenhurst mom is looking to pass on the legacy of her daughter, who tragically passed away last September at just 16-years-old. In her short time on Earth, Lindenhurst High School student Sofia Garbe made a tremendous impact to those around her. According to her mother, Melanie Garbe, she was the "kind of person everyone should strive to be" and embodied "compassion, kindness, and love." "Whether you were her best friend or just someone she met in passing, she would have done anything to help the people around her," she told Patch. "Following Sofia's sudden passing, her friends and family knew that there would be a hole left in our lives, the community, and the world." Click here to read the full story.
