I don't even know what to say. I am so sorry for your loss. I can't imagine Aunt Lorene without one of her precious girls. I have such wonderful memories of Sondra. She was the kindest and most thoughtful woman. She always put everyone before herself. I was blessed to be her cousin.
She will be missed.

My dear sweet daughter, I could not have asked for a better daughter you were perfect. Such a strong, independent, generous, mild mannered woman.
I'm going to miss our breakfasts out with my daughter's and whoever else came, always looked forward to them so much, but will not be the same from now on.
You gave Chuck and I a wonderful grandson, Michael has grown to a nice man, know you were proud of him as we are.
Going to be hard going on without you, but know you were suffering terrible.
Chuck and Mother miss you and love you.

My beautiful sister, I miss you so much each day. I can't believe you are gone.
You were such a fighter you fought so hard to live, doing and trying everything you could.
I hope you are in a better place now pain and cancer free.
You were an amazing sister, always there for everyone no matter what.
You left many people behind with broken hearts that will always be broken. We understand you had to leave us because you couldn't stand the pain any longer.
I miss our morning phone chats everyday.
Dear Sister I love you and miss you and life will not be the same without you.
