Sonja was such a very sweet and pleasant person. We attended HS together and was both on the tennis team.
I have warm smiles whenever I think of her. Thank you sister, friend and neighbor.

So sorry to hear this. Your family has my deepest sympathy. I remember Sonja from Blair St. She was such a beautiful and fine young lady. She kept everyone laughing with her bright personality. Her beautiful smile would light up the room. May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Just learned today my old classmate was called Home. I haven’t seen Sonya in years, but when we did run into each other, we’d talk forever. She was a Sweetheart! Condolences, hugs and prayers to her family. RIH my friend.

Hey Sis, Thank you for being so funny and at the same time so real. I will miss you saying the phrases "ya heard me" and "you know what I'm saying coon?" When you were selected as Ms. brick house by the Commodores in 1977 at a city-wide contest, I was not surprised. Your personality always shined through like a bright light. Thank you for all of the laughs, but most of all, thank you for being you. #100! Love, your baby Sis Kesia
