Hundreds of people turned out for a Saturday night memorial to honor Soto in Stratford. Her funeral is taking place at 10 a.m. Wednesday at Lordship Community Church.

She will be buried less than a week before Christmas, her favorite holiday. “She was the only one allowed to pick out the tree and put up the lights,” her obituary noted.

She also loved flamingos, the New York Yankees and her dog, Roxie. The loyal pet “waited for her to come home every day and is still waiting, lost without her,” her family wrote.

1. I ache

This is so painful.

Such a beautiful, brave woman. She saved seven children.
