I am so deeply sorry for the passing of my dear friend, Sonja. We knew one another for over 10 years. I was the closest to her when her family was living in Warrenville Il. I would visit her often and most of those times unannounced! She was happy to see me and always had a smile on her face and made me feel welcomed. Sonja was a very loving person and this showed with her love she gave to her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.My heartfelt prayers go to her family in this time of sorrow to find the strength to go forward without her.Remember all the happy times and may she rest in peace. God Bless You All. Hugs to everyone. Linda

I am so sorry for the loss you all must be feeling right now. I look back on so many years of knowing your family, that you are like my family. So many memories, we had the best time hanging out at the old Martinez home on Cabrillo. I know that this will be hard for you all, but I am praying that the Lord will bring each of you peace and comfort for your hearts and know that all the things are in his hands with love. I am always here for you all and you are in my heart and prayers. With all my love and deepest sympathies. Always, Misty Marie :'(

You welcomed me into your house open heartedly with no questions asked and made me feel comfortable and at home. Little things like that I will never forget, thanks for making me feel normal when I felt out of place.
