Randy please accept my deepest condolences. Mothers are special and irreplaceable. Remember that she’s always with you in your heart and your memories. She’s no longer suffering and in pain. God opened the gates and welcomed your mother in. Well done thy good and faithful servant.
May God comfort you and give you peace and may her soul rest in peace. My heart weeps with you in your loss of the one you loved so much. May you all be reunited in joyful reunion in eternity.
Dear Uncle Pete, Randy, Robert, and Lisa, I can’t imagine the world without Aunt Sonja. She gave us unconditional love through her powerful witness of suffering. You knew she was a Christian by her positive and enduring Testimony. And she was such a wonderful prayer warrior. Aunt Sonja’s prayers reflected her love for Jesus and for the unsaved as well as for the believers. I can honestly say Aunt Sonja had a heart for her Lord. She was always seeking the spiritual things of Christ. What a wonderful legacy she has left all of us. Because of God’s Amazing Grace, Ricky S. Donaldson
