Sonja was a great friend to the Windsor Retired Teachers' organization. She was always ready to assist and encourage our programs. We are going to miss her and will remember her friendship and support. Her passing is a real loss to her community, as well as her family and friends.

Dick, Bill, and Ginger,
As I told Bill, I was very sorry to learn of Sonja's passing. She was a good friend for many years. Natalie and I, along with the Wegner's took several trips with her and Dick, and spent many good times together. She was a great lady. My sister, who died last month, also considered her a friend, chatting with her frequently on the phone. Joanne and I went to several teachers' luncheons, and talked with them many times as well. Bill and Ginger, you are fortunate to have enjoyed such loving parents, and I know they felt the same toward the two of you.
If I can help in any way, let me know.
