I remember her as being such a sweet lady. Loved her family. Tried to help everyone she could. Did not try to hurt others and expected the same. Very respectful. Will be deeply missed but yet she is with Jesus and uncle Wayne so she is at last happy and content. God's Peace and Comfort for the family. Love ya'll.

Bubba, Susie, Beth, thank you for always accepting me as Sonia’s BFF. I love each of you and there are no words that can take the sadness away, but we ALL know that Uncle Wayne and Aunt Mary are now together again and no more suffering or pain and that’s what helps us all get through. Not many are blessed with “second” families and I am one of the lucky ones. I feel lost and I have no words but know that I need to be strong for Sonia right now and will be. I love you all and I am praying for peace and comfort for all of us. Sonia and I were sitting outside Tuesday night visiting and as soon as we sat down, a red cardinal and a momma showed up, then a few minutes later, another male cardinal showed up That showed me that they are already watching over us all. I pray that we always stay close and never lose touch with one another as you guys were the family I didn’t have growing up and you’ll never know how much it means to me to let me have been a part of yours.
