Dear Albert, What an absolute loss for you. Only meeting Sondra once I could feel her love and joy at being your soul mate. David and I both commented on what an incredible person and couple you and she are. I will keep you in prayer as I can only imagine how you are grieving. I am here to talk to anytime...your friend Brenda Thorn sheets.

Sorry, is not enough when a loved one passes. I only found Sondra recently through Facebook. I went to grade school (7th and 8th grade) with her. Once we found each other we began sending e-mails. I was so glad to hear from her after all these years and now she is gone. I never knew her as the loving adult you all write about. I only remember her from my growing up years, but she was such a good friend that I kept her with me, in my heart, all these years. I will miss her e-mails and message talks. I know that her family and life long friends will miss her also. I lift you up to the Lord asking Him to comfort you and ease your pain by her loss. I will miss her.

Albert,
It was a pleasure to meet Sondra from the very moment that you brought her home to introduce her to us. I will never forget her radiant smile, her honesty, and her outlook on life. I will keep the both of you in my prayers as I've done always.

Your loving sister,
Dr. Ramona Chaparro-Ramirez

To Sondra's children and the love of her life, Albert, we will miss this angel but know in our hearts that heaven has gained a special one. My deepest condolences to you and my God Bless you all. She is running around in the clouds and rid of her chains of illness. I was so blessed she touched my life.
