Sonia's mother Genevieve and my mother Cecile Merz were life long best friends and neighbors in Mt Clemens. I will always remember what a wonderful daughter Sonia was to her mother and how good she was to my mother as well. We have all lost a kind and dear lady...my deepest sympathy to her loving family from Lisa Merz Paulus
