Sonja Raven(Wright) was my aunt for many years she was still my aunt when she divorced my uncle. I loverd her very much and her death has definately made me sad and also made me realize how a person could just be gone in an instant. I hope the family can realize that our time here is short and precious and we should treat it that way and not waste our time with small little petty things and try to look at the bigger things in life. Where ever you are Aunt Sonja I LOVE YOU. -Cousin Jordan-
