I was a classmate with Sonja at Mona Shores High School. I remember her great sense of humor. She was a beautiful woman and will be remembered by many. My thoughts and prayers for the family.

Our family always thought very highly of Sonja. For Michelle and I as friends and our sons, who were lucky enough to know her as a teacher at KJHS. We are sure with her devotion as an educator and her lifelong struggle with diabetes and associated illnesses she has found a special place in Heaven.

I am sorry for the loss of a great, funny lady. I have missed Sonja since her retirement from school, she always brought a great story or comment to our days here at Kennedy. She will always be here in spirit.

I was a classmate with Sonja at Mona Shores. I remember what a kind person she was, she never showed judgement of others. I am sorry for your loss Phil and hope that you find strength during this difficult time.

Phil,
You have been on my mind for quite some time now and Sonja was an amazing and loving person that lived life to the fullest. She was a special person that will never be forgotten. We love you Phil! Stay strong!

Sonja was one of my most unforgettable students. Her buoyant spirit, her sardonic wit, and her fine intelligence endeared her to me--and they saw her through a life of many trials. I will remember her always.
