Sonya Archuleta DeAngelis

Earth is missing an angel.

I’m so sad that you are gone Sonya.
I’m sad for you, I’m sad for my brother, I’m sad for your mom.
I remember when we would talk on the phone about getting our first teaching jobs. Finally, after all those classes and endless certification tests, we were both going to be teachers. I envisioned us getting together with family on holidays and talking about our lousy students and how much we love summer vacation.
I remember when you and Sean came to Florida. You were so excited...

Sonya was my Freshman year crush, the same year that we ran as the first 9th grade president/ v.p. team. We won, of course, and for four years after shared in the joys of teamwork.

She was a treasure: I always remember her as a bright smile. She illuminated.

Myself and many among my peers will be thinking so well of her for many years to come. In this life, which is so relatively short, the best impression is one that inspires us to love and be loved. Her's was this,...

I was lucky enough to meet Sonya when Sean came back to visit. Even though I didn't have the chance to spend a lot of time with Sonya&Sean , Sonya's personality was something special but most of all how humble she was and appreciative of anything you did big or small. Last summer I was lucky enough to be at a great picnic that Sue&Tony put on at their home with friends and family and Sonya&Sean....Now I relies how special that day truly was....My deepest sympathy to Sean and family

Sonya,Sean and Tony came to our house to have lunch it was such a nice day and just a pleasure to meet Sonya. We all enjoyed lunch together we just remember what a cheerful young women she was but most of all how appreciative she was we will miss but always remember her.....

Sonya, I am blessed that you were my daughter-in-law. I will do as Sean suggests, I will be a better person, I will be kind to strangers and smile at little kids. Your courage, compassion and love will inspire me all of my days and I will love you each of those days.

My dearest Sonya; Like a beautifull new flower in the dessert, you sprang into our lives with joy, amazement, happiness and excitment. You were a rare treasure so few are lucky enough to find in life!
We are all so very touched with richness you brought to our lives. Even though it was only for a brief moment during the span of my life, as long as the sun rises to the sky you will always be remebered.

So sorry...

We were priveliged to be invited to witnesss the marriage of Sonya and Sean. Sonya was sooo beautiful, and Sean, well, he cleans up pretty good. We were very much looking forward to getting to know her even more and will hold the Big Bear weekend trip in our memories forever. A treasure like Sonya is very rare and our family will miss her very much.
