Dear family of Sonya! My very deep condolences to all of you! I am Mary Lee Daniel! I spent time with many of you in the waiting room and visited with many of you during the time I was waiting for my friend to get out of surgery and moved to her room on April 17 th! You fed me, I visited with her fiancé and made Easter eggs with her niece! She was awaiting surgery to relieve pressure on her brain! When I heard the news on tv this morning, I was greatly saddened and knew you were her family, with which I interacted! My prayers and love follow you all! Another big hug to all of you!
