My love goes out to you during this time of grief. Sonja was such a character when we worked together at WM. She helped me, encouraged me and set me straight when I was wrong. I remember her eyes twitching when she was getting excited. She was a wonderful woman. God bless your family. Michele Vu

Kevin, Kelli, Kennedi, I am so sorry I cannot be with you during your time of grief. Sonja was one of the best friends I ever had. Thanksgiving was never the same here in Kentucky without all of you. She will be missed. Shelva Kilgore

I had the Honor of caring for Mrs. Wheeless at Baptist Div 5. She was a sweet lady with a good outlook on life for all she was going through. She usually had a smile and sometimes a joke for me when I entered the room. I always said "I will check on you later Honey." and she would say "Ok Sweetie...be sure I am up in time for dialysis." She was a ray of sunshine in a not so always bright work environment. She will be missed. Love and prayers to her family.
