Sonya was special person we became close friends she was always there if you need shoulder to cry on all her resident love her so most.she was like sister to me going to miss our long talks.But I know she not hurting no more.God gained special Angel. Levi’s she love u very much.
My sincere condolences to the family of Sonya. She was a true Godsend to us while mom was a resident at Kingsbrook. Any time mom needed medical attention, I knew I could call on Sonya, and mom would receive the thorough, loving and gentle care she needed. Sonya also loved to stop by mom’s room and visit with her. I feel certain mom was there to greet Sonya when she entered heaven. Your family will be remembered in my prayers. Again, I am so sorry for your loss.
I’ll cherish the memories of Sonya from my childhood. I’m sure I was a pesky little cousin, but she was always so sweet to me and included me. I will always remember her as an intelligent, kind and beautiful person.
