Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Sonya was my friend for many years, we sat around her kitchen table, drank coffee, shared many stories of family and old memories. She always wanted me to bring her church literature, she missed going to church, but I believe I can say she is in a much better place today and not suffering. –Dot.
So sorry for your loss John & Francine. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Love, Susan & Kent Britt
I probably have known Sonya for about 32 years now.We pretty much talked daily so even though haven’t actually met most of her family I do know how much she loved them all.She dearly loved her sons and all of their accomplishments .We worked together for so many years so I appreciated her humor and the family memories she shared .We have been through a lot together and after so many years I don’t really know how to say goodbye ..I will miss you so much but I know I’m glad you were and will always be my friend
