I often have these dreams where you come back to us.. feels so real that I always run up to you and give you a big hug and a kiss. I find myself angry and upset when I wake up to find that its only a dream but I find myself realizing that its better to dream about you and see you, than to not see you at all. Its hard ... its hard to see my mommy hurting so badly because I know how badly she misses you, how bad I miss you...we all do.

Sonja....you were a great friend to me and my daughter Jennifer when we lived at the New Horizon Condos in Saugus. Many fun times and stories at the pool in the summer. You always had positive things to say about the students at your school and always had their back. You are missed!

No one had a bigger "HEART" Then you.You will be missed. I loved working with you at Saugus and Arroyo Seco, thank you for all the fun, laughs and great times we had. God Bless you and your family.

Sonja was my babysitter when I was little and living in an apartment in Granada Hills, and I was so excited to see her again when she started working at Saugus sometime around my freshman year. I have many fond memories of her and I'm sad to hear of her passing. Candy, Frankie, and Jesse - you won't remember me, but I remember you, and I've lost my mom also so my heart goes out to you. I'm praying for all of you, your siblings and family, and for Sonja's husband who must miss her beyond words.

As do almost all the students of the class on 97 at SHS, I have nothing but fond memories of Sonja.

Sonja's light and spirit got so many of us through the toughest times in our early life. She was one of the few people who seemed to care about the students and treat them as people. She will be so missed. I am sure many of us have our stories of high school as well as pictures and many include Sonja. To many of us she was a second mom, or in some cases the only mom. May you rest in peace Sonja. You were an angel on earth and now you are an angel in Heaven. xo

I was so saddened to hear of sonja passing away. If anybody went to SHS in the 20 years she was there you knew Sonja.
I can tell you from working with her 11 of the 20 years she truly loved you guys. No matter what the students came 1st.
I have only good memories of a awesome woman and co worker.God bless you for all you did for your family and the community of Santa Clarita

Sonja my dear, you will be missed. You were a light on a hill at Saugus High School. You had such a rapport with the students and they loved you. Your laugh was infectious and it made me smile. Many students were touched by you and you have left a legacy without even knowing it. God Bless you my friend.

True my darkest days as a teenager when i thought noone understood me when i felt all alone & lost. There was always Sonja there to tell me it'll be ok keep trying even as i got older she never forgot me & i never forgot her she stopped me from some dumb things & helped push me the right way. You will always have a place in my heart may Gob bless your soul you where already an angel a Guardian angel to the lost youth of Saugus. Love you always.

Most of you may know Sonja from Saugus high School, but I knew Sonja and her family all of my life. Before I lived and went to Saugus, Sonja and her family used to live in the Valley 4 houses down from my family. Frankie, Jesse and my sisters and I played together growing up and Candy used to babysit us all. This is a sad revelation and my family is saddened by this news.
