My deepest condolences to the De Leon Family. I remember Sonia from my days in the Loss Mit unit, she was funny and I would always see her around campus after i moved on. May God put his grace around the De Leon Family as they mourn the loss of Sonia.

Your family has been in my prayers since I heard the sad news. I hadn't talked to Sonia in over 15 years, since we worked together at CCCS. I loved being around her, from what I read here, there is one thing that remained the same over all these years - Her constant declaration of love and dedication for her husband and her girls. They were always the joy in her life and how she loved them! She was taken much too soon, and these things are so hard to understand, I remember her consoling me at the loss of my brother in 1998, no words ever seem right so to her family and those left behind, know that she was special and her smile, giggle and love touched so many and will not be forgotten. I pray God's peace, comfort, and love all around you during this time and always. God Bless!

Sonia was such a wonderful and beautiful person that made this world a better place. I will always remember her beautiful smile, and her contagious laughter. She gave me the best advice about life and love that I will cherish forever. Sonia's most important things in life was her family. She was always talking about the love of her life Agustin. Her proudest moments and memories all belonged to her beautiful daughters. May god bless all of you and remember your mom and your wife will always be with you. She is now and will forever be your guardian angel. I will truly miss my friend.

Words can never fully express how saddened I was to hear of Sonia's passing. We worked closely together back in our loss mit days. We would talk about the good, the bad and the ugly and how much our work drove us crazy, but we loved doing it! She was a treat to work with every day and always had great and funny stories to share about her Augstine and her beautiful girls. She loved you all so much. She was truely a good friend and will be missed greatly. My condolences go out to her family and hope you are able to find peace in her passing.

Sonia brought so many gifts to our life. We will never forget her. My deepest condolences to Augustine, Alyssa and Amanda, your wife spoke of how much she loved her Viejo and all the things you would do for her, your mom loved you girls so much. From hearing her plans for the quinceanera to listening to her prepare the speech she gave at Alyssa's graduation dinner. There are so many memories of her that I can talk about, from the “Buenos Dias” in the morning, to hear about her sales she got over the weekend on shoes or to the estate/garage sales. She was the glue to this team; she will always be with us. I will miss her deeply. When we lose a loved one here on earth, we gain an Angel in heaven that watches over us. May we take comfort in knowing that we have an Angel to watch over us now.

Augustine, Alyssa and Amanda, my deepest condolences for your loss of a wife and mom.
Sonia will be missed by many. Her good mornings and daily chats of what she found at the estate sales or new adventures were shared by us at work. We had many laughs and I feel blessed to have known her. She loved her daughters, when she spoke about them she'd get teary eyed and we'd both laugh. She was very proud of them both. And her husband was her soul mate that was obvious.
Our Heavenly Father needed her, know that Sonia will sleep till Jesus comes back and you will see her again. Of course our coupon queen will be there to greet us all.
Live with the love that she has for you.... RIP Sonia

Its been a super sad weekend, since our dear co-worker, a super Amiga Sonia, unexpectedly left, too soon went to heaven, as God needed another Angel and called her to our Eternal Home. I am still in shock! Sonia was loving wife, a super caring Mom for her daughters, a great sister & daughter. Sonia was only 44 yrs young, had big Heart, always wanted help anyone around her, was very giving as well. Working with Sonia was great, always happy, you can say there was never a dull moment with her.
Sonia had a special light around her. Sonia was very family oriented, that's what I loved about her, was crazy about daughters(guercas as she called them) also loved and took care of her Viejo-Agustin. Thank you Sonia,for getting my sewing machine & other specials in Black Friday at 5am,at Walmart, so I could go home.
I will cherish forever, nothing but wonderful, memories, as we share so many stories about our families, we cried and laugh, I remember seeing you dancing with Agustin at Amanda's Quincenera.
Sonia my dear friend, I am not saying "Good Bye" just "So Long" as I know in my heart, we will see each other Again, will Hug, talk, laugh and joke around as we did last time at WalMart a couple of months ago.
Agustin, Alyisa, Amanda, My deepest condolences on your loss, there is no words that I can say except know that my heart, thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time. May you find comfort in loving memories, and know An Angel is watching over you! May God's Love Embrace You All!!
Sonia will be forever greatly missed!
