I am so very sorry to hear this news. I will continue to pray hard for Sophie and your family. If there is anything Michael Feeney’s Best Day Ever or I can do personally, please don’t hesitate to ask. Stay strong. She needs you now more than ever.
My thoughts and prayers go out to the Spangenthal family. I am glad that I had a chance to meet Sophie and am looking forward to seeing her again…
Oh my gracious, David! What a crushing blow to your little family and your larger family, and especially to your incredible Sophie. I am literally in tears. All of my most heartfelt prayers and wishes for her best outcome. I am holding you all in my heart.

I’ve never met you but I’ve been following Sophie’s difficult journey. (My kids used to live in FL). How devastated you must be at this latest news. My heart hurts for you and brave Princess Sophie. Will continue to daven and recite Tehillim for Chava Shalva Gavriella bas Shani Aliza, and may Hashem grant you strength.
Praying for strength and healing..
My thoughts and prayers are with you dear Sophie, Jenny, David and all the family.
It was so nice meeting Sophie the other week in Miami! She is such a sweet and bright girl with an adorable laugh and smile! I will continue keeping her in my prayers ❤️
Although we’ve never met, Sophie has been a source of inspiration. The sweetness of her smile, the sparkle in her eyes just jump out of the computer screen and into our hearts. May Hashem send you strength to continue this journey. May Hashem send His rachamim and refuah to our amazing, super-hero princess. Sophie is always in our tefillot & in our hearts. Sending our love and tefillot from Yerushalayim. -Zelda & Danny Wildman
We love you all and we are praying for Sophie every day. You are all on our minds and in our hearts.
Sending love ❤️
Refuah sheleima. You don’t know me but I’ve been following Sophies journey through my sister in law. Hopefully we will bake challah this Thursday in Sophies honor.
I’m thinking good thoughts. I can’t wait for the day when I hear that you’re on the other side of this journey with health and happy.
Our thoughts and prayers are always with you and Sophie as you continue this fight. It amazes us that with all the challenges she has faced Sophie can still light up the room with her smile and joy and love of life . She gets that from your tireless love and efforts. May God give you strength as you continue to love and support each other and your families. We love you all. Sandy and Gary
Hi Jennie
Loved the NBC news article posted below Thank you for taking the time to write this when there is so much going on in your life.
I agree that It is time that for corporate America to do the right thing and hopefully out of this good changes will happen. FMLA is not enough!
My love to all of you.
Sandy
Sophie on my mind and in my heart (along with her parents) – may Chava Shalva Gavriella bat Shani Aliza have a refuah shleimah
Sophie is in our prayers and in our hearts! We have fallen in love with Sophie through Kira!
Love, Michal and Natie Fox (Kira Fox’s parents)
Continuing to send you all my love and support from far away!
