Our beautiful Sophia Randell “Made with Love”, you warmed our hearts and our spirit. Smile on one hand and courage on the other.
It is with profound heartache that we announce the passing of our beloved Unstoppable Sophia. She will be sorely missed, but greater than the sorrow from her departure is the joy that she spread in our lives.
SOPHIA NOUHA RANDELL passed away peacefully on May 2nd ,2020, at the age of seven, surrounded by her loving family. A caring, funny, outgoing beautiful little girl, Sophia leaves behind her broken parents Liliane Hajjar and Jason Randell and older brothers Jacob and Liam, who will miss the love and joy she brought into their lives.
She is predeceased by her Teta Nouha and Jidou Michel Hajjar, as well as her Nan Sophia and Pop Ephraim Randell. Her uncles, Roland, Roger and Willis Randell.
She will be greatly missed by her loving aunts and uncles Marina(Bernard), Ibtissam(Keith), Alissar(Mark), Brent(Chantal), Curtis(Nathalie), Guy(Jeannette), Minnie(Brian), Kevin(Bonnie), Perry(Jeannette), Neta(Allen) and Donna(Dan).
Sophia leaves behind many wonderful and loving cousins she loved to spend time with, including, Angelina, Mikaela, Jasmine, Veronica, Lindsey, Alexandra, Christian, Yvette and Kami of Ottawa, along with those across Ontario and Newfoundland. She will be missed by so many friends who enjoyed her laughter and love for life.
Our family is so grateful to the team of doctors, nurses and support staff at CHEO who worked tirelessly and compassionately in the efforts to find a cure for her brain cancer, including Dr. Donna Johnston, our pillar of strength, who devoted many years supporting and guiding us. Dr. David McAuley and Belinda Dundon, who fought with us and faced every storm with the brave Sophia, the love and dedication of Dr. Eva Tomiak and Chantal Lessard. A special thank you to the nurses and support staff on 4WEST, Medical Day Unit and MRI Department for your incredible and loving support. We also wish to give a warm thank you to the amazing palliative team and all staff at Roger Neilson House for giving us a home away from home and for the support every step of this journey. We recognize the exceptional work you do with all children and families.
To our Randell Army, thank you for your indescribable love and support.

The forever twinkle in our eyes, sweet dreams our Unstoppable Sophia.

Sophia’s contagious beautiful spirit and loving nature will always be remembered. As one of her Kids Kicking Cancer Senseis I was honoured to witness Sophia’s mutual adoration of her brothers, her courage, her hope, and her love. Through her heroic battle with cancer and her unstoppable love which wove through and reinforced her family and the entire Randell Army, Sophia became a Master Teacher, which she will now always be: leading us all to love better, be more courageous, and not waste any of our moments. Thank you #UnstoppableSophia.

Sending all our love from the Washington, D.C. area.
One of my happiest memories of my life is seeing how much my son interacted with her; how he instantly loved and adored her. She always had that magic.
I remember the joy of holding her in my arms.
What a blessing to be here surrounded by such love, even though it was too short.
I will hold you all in my heart forever.
We love you! #unstoppablesophia

So very sorry for your loss. May you Rest In Peace Sophia❤
It's been a long time since we have lived in Aylmer but we have watched from afar and quietly cheered when Sophia was born and shared sadness as your family has faced so many health challenges. Jesse and I share in your sorrow from Toronto. You are all on our minds and hearts. We will hold you all in the light as you navigate living with this profound loss. We are sending our love to you all.
