Sonya was my right hand for a dozen years at DOJ, from my earliest days in 1996 until 2008. She brought sunshine to my days and was my support through some personal tragedies. I will miss her and pray for her and her family always.

My deepest sympathies and prayers to the Tate/Sesker family. Sonya was a dear friend and colleague at DOJ. She was the first one to make me feel welcome when I started 20 years ago...and never failed to ask after my grandchildren even after she left our office. She was a true ray of sunshine to so many! I will miss her.
