Chatham teen Sophia Vlasman lost her fight with cancer. Her obituary says she passed away peacefully Friday, just after 11 a.m., “after a courageous battle filled with hope and strength. She is now our beautiful angel and is no longer in pain.”
Sophia captured the hearts of thousands of people in Chatham and beyond as she so steadfastly battled cancer.
