Not sure what to say?





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.

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
