It is with great sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of Mocha Sochrin after a brief illness. Mocha was not quite 13 1/2 years old at the time of her passing. She was a purebred Golden Retriever born on June 12, 2010 in Simpson Bay, St. Maarten. Mocha, originally named Mohawk, was the canine daughter of Shadow and Goldie Angel Flatley, and she was one of 13 littermates. She remained with her first human, Mary Jane Flatley until she was adopted by John Gifford through the Team Goldendog organization. Several years ago, Mocha rejoined her late canine sister, A.M. at her ancestral home, and was adopted by Jeffrey Sochrin.

Mocha was a beautiful red Golden Retriever. She had a special bond with her human Grandfather, the late Sumner B. Sochrin of Milford and Seymour, Connecticut, USA and Simpson Bay St. Maarten. If her grandfather was on the island, Mocha was with him. She was predeceased by her Golden sister, A.M. and her first human, Mary Jane Flatley of Bristol, Rhode Island, USA. She is survived by her human Dad, Jeffrey Sochrin of Simpson Bay, St. Maarten and her human Uncle, Charles E. Southworth III of Simpson Bay, St. Maarten, her trusted caregiver, Andrea "Simone" Edwards, her canine brother, Shaggie Sochrin and feline brother, Super Kitty.

A special thank you goes out to Dr. Glen Romney of the St. Maarten Animal Hospital and his entire team for providing such excellent care to Mocha during her life and especially during her final days.

Contributions in Mocha's memory may be made to Team Goldendog, the US arm of the St. Maarten Animal Welfare Foundation at: paypal.me/TeamGoldendog

Today Mom and Dad would have celebrated their 57th Wedding Anniversary. So, this Boxing Day, I did what I always do…. I sang “Happy Anniversary” to them when I called them up today. As the tradition goes, I called Mom first and said “Happy Anniversary” and sang. Then I called back and offered Dad “My Condolences and sang. The phones don’t work anymore, but somehow I know they heard me. In their memory I kept the day as usual, Boxing Day Toy Distribution with Dominos and Rotary, then feet in the sand for them, because the beach was their favorite place. Love you and miss you both. RIP!
