Sonja loved to take care of everyone. She never thought about herself. Sonja was always there caring for anyone. She loved life and was always ready for a good time with her family.

Sonja (Memaw) would always show by example how we should put God first. Memaw would always make sure before all the feast that she would cook for her family that we all would hold hands and thank God for the food and each other.

The kind of love and goodness that mom showed is rare and much needed. We all will surely miss her daily. God and his angels have welcomed her home.
