Although I did not know you personally, I knew of you from LCTI, and I know you're just getting the party started up there for all of us Lehigh DECA kids, we were like one big family, so we'll remember you every time we see a star shining bright in the heavens.

Sondra,
Your Uncle Bobby and I still are having a hard time knowing that when we come home you will not be there to greet us with your beautiful smiling face. I know that your in heaven looking down on us. I want you to know that we will always cherish the memories that we have of you. For you will live in our hearts forever. I have peace in my heart knowing that we will be with you again in heaven. So don't forget I will be looking for you with the flower in your hand when I enter heaven.
Love Aunt Debbie

Dearest Sondra,
I didn't know you personally, but felt I did through your father and his friends. He told me the other day that I would have liked you. That I know is true. I know from everyone I talked to, that you were truly a beautiful person with an amazing heart. You did not deserve this fate, nor did your family and friends. The world was definately a better place for having had you in it. You will always live on through so many people, whose lives you've touched dramatically. Because, "To live in the hearts we leave behind, is not to die." And little Angel, you live in so many hearts. That was extremely obvious by the out pouring of love for you that I experienced this past week.
Hank, please know that I am here for you always and I am so sorry for the loss of your sweet babygirl. We have been friends for many years. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Whenever you need a shoulder, I will always be there for you. I am very honored that you have allowed me to be a small rock for you these past several days. I know you are a great dad who always puts your kids first and sacrificed much for them over the years. All that hard work and sacrifice was not in vain. Sondra truly loved you and respected you. Her heart was so kind because of how you raised her. Always remember this. She could not have been the wonderful person she was without your influence. You are a good person.
Wayne, thanks for the friendship we have shared during your visit. Thanks for being there for your brother. I know he only made it through this because of all your love and support. Be comforted by the fact that Hank will not be alone. His friends will make sure of that. If I can help in any way, I am here. I am also so sorry for your loss as well.

I live next to the Turkey Hill and was always delighted to see Sondra's smiling face behind the counter. She had such a glow and I could just tell that she was one of the few people that actually "got" what life is all about. My deepest condolence's go out to your family and rest assured that the Good Lord will have a very special seat for your Sondra. God Bless you all

Hey Sonj! Back in South Mountain you were 1 of my 1st girlfriend's and I will never forget that. Our dates always consisted of the South Mountain crew going to Skateaway (everyone you know who you are: Me, Sonj, Aubrey, Mark, Jeremy, Rhiannon, and madd other heads.) Yea I know back then it was only puppy love but as we got older and closer the love and bond we developed in our friendship can never be explained. You were always a part of me like a big sister and if I ever needed you 4 anything then you were there 4 me with no questions asked. Sonj I just miss you more than anything and I cant wait to see you again in heaven. As 4 now just keep shining down and looking after me. Everytime I think of all of our good times I just break down and cry cause I wanna relive them all. You left an impact on everyone's life and heart that can never be filled. Just like my shirt says, We miss you. We Love You. You'll never be forgotten. "Our Fallen Princess".
Love, Miguel
P.S. Save me a spot in heaven's skateaway! Love Ya Sis!!!

Such a beautiful caring kind wonderful young woman that had goals had dreams loved her family and friends, was always making people laugh and did not mind being laughed at, every time I saw her she always had the biggest smile on her face, It breaks my heart saddens me beyond belief that she was taken from us so soon. She is the most beautiful Angel now looking after all that knew and loved her. Sondra We will never forget you, you are always in my thoughts and prayers You will be forever in our hearts.

Janie, Connie, and Family. I was so sorry to read of your loss in the paper. Sondra was a beautiful girl and I hope that God's love can sustain you through this difficult time. Take care and my mom (Pat) asked me to send her condolences as well.

Sondra, Words cannot describe the emptiness that has been left in my heart because you have been taken away from all of us. It is absolutely amazing to me that in your 18 short years of life on Earth you have been able to have such an impact on so many people's lives. It was unbelievable all the wonderful things I heard from your teachers, friends and other aquaintances that I had the opportunity to meet and talk with in the days since you left us. You were truely a very special person and will forever be in my heart. God has selected a true angel and I am sure that that your bright blue eyes will light up the heavens. I know that you are with your grandmother so be sure to tell her hello and give her a kiss for me. Thank you for being part of my life and know that you are sorely missed. Lots of love forever, Uncle Wayne

An Angel Walks Beside Us
Angels live forever
far beyond our days on earth,
and every soul recieves
an angel guardian at birth.
Invisible, these angels
never leave us day or night.
They know our fears
and whisper,
"Things are going to be all right."
They give us strength
and purpose,
keep our hope
and courage strong,
they fill our minds
with wisdom
and our spirits with a song.
And when the time
in this world comes
to reach our journey's end,our angel walks beside us
like a kind, familiar friend.
And as we leave behind
the only place
we've ever known,
we see our angel's smile
at last and hear
"You're home... you're home."
MAY YOU FIND COMFORT
IN KNOWING
THAT YOUR LOVED ONE
HAS BEEN GUIDED
GENTLY HOME.
Hank and family,
Please know that Sondra will be missed by all that knew and loved her.
Love, Lori and family

I just want to express my sincere condolences to Sondra's family & friends. I had the pleasure of being one of Sondra's math teachers at DHS. She was such a sweet and intelligent young lady. She had so much joy and potential for life. She could really light up a room with her smile. She will be greatly missed by everyone that knew her. Just remember that God will carry you through these hard times. I will continue to keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

Sondra-
You have always been my beloved cousin and angel, and even though I will miss you now, you are in a better place. On Earth you were an Angel without wings, now the only small difference is that you have them. Uncle Wayne, Aunt Vcki and I love you, we always have, and always will. Know that I always looked up to you, and that you were my role model. You are one of the best, kindest, most beautful people I have ever met. We'll miss you!

It's a terrible thing to lose a loved one, especially one so young and with so much life to live. One thing we must remember is all of the years, tears, ups and downs we have had together with one another. For eighteen years Sondra brought joy to alot of peoples lives. So sorry for your loss.

Sondra we were very cool and always talked alot. You always understood where I was coming when I had problem just as well as I did with you. You were are always a good friend and I'm sad to see you go. I know you are watching over every one each and every day. You will always be in my heart and prayers. And I send my prayers out to your family and wish them well. Growing up I was given a valuable piece of advice that I would like to past on to them " A person may be gone physically but is only gone spiritually if you let them go in your heart" R.I.P. Sondra we all miss you!!!

Hank and Jane our hearts go out to and your family we as parents understand the hurt and devistation this tragedy has brought to your family. We always liked Sondra and enjoyed her company when she came over to our house with Dru. She always was a very intelligent and good mannered child and definately didnot deserve for this to happen to her.Although her body is gone her spirit & memories will live among all of those who knew her because Sondra makes the best of any cituation no matter what the circumstance. We know that she stands at heavens gates with her grandmother Sally to watch over her and now all of us have yet another Guardian Angel to watch over us. MAY GOD BLESS YOU & KEEP YOU SONDRA

To the Yohe Family,
My heart goes out to all of you on the loss of Sondra. I remember her as a little girl. Her grandmother(Sally) used to bring her to my house to play with my son Brock. She has grown into a beautiful young woman & now is an angel in heaven with her grandmother.
With Deepest Sympathy,

Sondra was one of the bestest friends I had and one of the funniest. she always kept a smile on my face throughout the 7 yrs. that I knew her. i could always run to her with my problems and she could always run to me. I miss her more and more as each day goes by. I know she would want me to live my life happy but its hard when I remember i dont have her there to talk to. I will always love sondra and miss her but now God has one of the greatest angles possible and i know she is watching over all of us right now smiling. My prayers are with her family right now and friends. Sonj will always be remembered by so many and never forgotten. I LOVE YOU SONDRA!

You were so full of life,
always smiling,
everyone loved you being part of there life,
And i loved you being part of mine,
You could make anyone laugh,
when they were having a bad day,
and no matter how sad i was,
you could take the hurt away.
nothing could ever stop you,
or make you fall,
you were ready to take on the world,
ready to do it all.
but god decided he need you,
so when he took you away,
he took a piece of all of us,
and our hearts is what you had taken,
i look at your seat,
and its empty,
and its hard not to see your face.
but always know this,
no one can take your place as my friend.
you left with no warning,
not even saying bye.
and i can stop wondering,
why you?
why now?
nothing will ever be the same again,
my world is empty without your laughter,
but i know your up in heaven,
watching over me,
and looking after me.
i didn't see this coming,
it just came with no warning,
hit me by surprise,
and when you left this world,
a small part of me died.
i remember the last time i saw you,
you were with your pride and joy.
your smile brightened everyone day,
no matter what they were going through.
You will be missed always and forever.

God be with everyone.
