Raynor and Henrichsen families, will be praying for you. I knew Sonya from LaPlata High School and we were very good friends. Somehow, we lost touch with one another after high school and I have thought of her often. I wish I could have reconnected with Sonya instead of finding her obituary posted on a Facebook group. Sonya was a loving, caring, funny, and loyal friend and I will continue to miss her bright bubbly presence. My heart goes out to you all.--Melody (Cooper) Barnes, Fayetteville, NC.

I don't know where to begin, Sonya had a life force about her that was just so full & cheerfull, Although I really didn't get to know sonya the adult but knowing her all through highschool gave me a pretty good idea of how vibrant her life would be. Over the years I always planned on getting together & catching up and now.... Sonya will always be in my thoughts & my prayers go out to the whole family.

Jeff,
I think back to all the time you spent with me ,patiently teaching those difficult sticks. I wasn't always the best student. I remember too, when I first came to the ED, that Sonja intimidated me when she was charge. One night she picked up on this and she said "It's all good Sister, we'll get thru this together." We did and forever she would tease me about it.
I'll never forget the day I was working and she rolled by on a stretcher,sitting up,smiling,cussin' on her way to deliver the babies.
Later Sister,

No words can express your loss nor replace the void, but God is always there. May God continue giving you strength from day to day. Sonya will be dearly missed... just remember the encouragement, laughs, & love to others she showed. Now as she's praising the Lord for her family & friends, & blessings throughout the years that she's shared - may her legacy not be forgotten. For the hope that, one day you too shall meet again.
