I am saddened by Sonia’s passing. I live just a few doors down the street from her home. I enjoyed visiting with her about gardening and her grandson, Cameron. I was a teacher at Cameron’s preschool. My heart felt condolences to the family.

Karin,
I was very sorry to hear about your mother. My mom sent me the news clipping, so I wanted to offer my deepest sympathy. I’ll never forget our childhood memories. What fun we use to have. Your mother was always sweet to me and my family. Take good care of yourself and your family.
Sincerely,
