Our hearts are broken.

I will sadly miss our November birthday celebrations each year, her animated political commentary, and our long let's catch up telephone conversations.

She was such an amazing, good-spirited, adventurous woman with a fun-loving sense of humor! We are blessed to have had her magnanimous force in our lives and call her our dear friend.

I will miss the way she would say "Janie Hi, How are you". Always interested in what I was doing and how my family was doing. Sondra had a great sense of adventure.
Our friendship started when we were about 10 years old. We were in the same Girl Scout Troop together. Friends through high school, It has been a long time friendship.

Sondra and I were childhood friends since the fourth grade. You and I met when Betsy and I visited you both at your home. You were so gracious and kind. Please accept my sincere condolences for your loss and my eternal gratitude for the love and joy you showed her during your time together. May you find peace.


Sincerely,
Fay Christie Powell
