Dear friends and family of Ann Sonnen -
I went to SCSU with Ann for a couple of years. I just found out that she passed - so late! It broke my heart. She was a dear friend to me - so beautiful, warm, and creative. SO talented.
The world definitely is emptier for her absence.

I am feeling very sad about Ann. The world just lost a wonderful giving and caring person. She gave back all the help she received. She was an enthusiastic volunteer and helped many others at Regions Hospital. We will all miss her RIP Ann

I was sorry to read about Anne's passing. I went to St. Pascals and Harding with her. I remember a fun sleep over at her house when we were young girls in grade school. I have many other great memories. My deepest sympathy to her family and Jim.

Dear Sonnen family,
I worked with Anne at Estée Lauder in Rosedale for many years. She was vivacious and always very good to me. I saw her and your Mom at Assumption many times. Please accept my sincerest sympathies and know you all are in my prayers now and through this Christmas season.

Ann, may your memory be eternal. Go with God and His angels!
