Not sure what to say?

Sonja and George, due to my friendship with their son Peter, always made me feel so at home and welcome whenever I´d visit. During high school, that was pretty often. Peter and I ran track together and a lot of discussions about our homework assignments. During and after college, after I´d moved to California, I´d come back from time to time. It was as though I was Sonja´s long lost son. A life well-lived. She made each day a home run.

Thank you Mrs. Fulton for being my teacher when I attended Plumfield School.

To my Fulton cousins, John, James, Matthew and Peter and your families: I have found memories of our family visits between Yonkers, NY and Darien CT. I really enjoyed the times I got to stay with you for a week during a couple of summers in the 1960s when we'd go to the beach every day and sailed on the Sunfish boat a few times. Your Mom (my Aunt Sonja), was such a joy to be around and always made us feel welcomed. You are in our thoughts and prayers at this time and you are so fortunate...

To the Fulton Family - We just heard the news! I will miss Aunt Sonja. I have such fond memories of her especially growing up and her good sense of humor visiting us with your dad. Barbara was your dad's first cousin.

To Jim and Pam and family - I just learned of Sonja's passing and wanted to extend my sympathies to all of you. She was a remarkable person, a truly gifted educator, and left an indelible mark on many Darien children who learned well under her tutelage. Your devotion to her was a wonderful example of the value of close family ties and I know she will be remembered fondly by everyone who knew her. Betsy Carter

Mrs. Fulton was one of my favorite teachers growing up. I cherished the hours spent with her and 3 other students in a tiny room studying math in 5th grade. She was such a remarkable person!
