I first met, started working with, and became friends with Sonya, when we worked together in the Monday Morning Project and later with the People First Project. I always will remember her laughter, her dedication, and advocating together for ourselves and others who live with disabilities.I am sending my condolences to her family. She was a super person to know.

I used to be one of her caretakers, we always had great conversations about music and her favorite game shows. I recently began cutting her hair, she would ask about my daughter and give her hugs and a big smile when she would she her. It saddens me to hear of her passing. She will forever be missed.-Dionne Seville

Sonya was independent, kind and always interested in helping others. We met through therapy dogs but became friends. She kept me up to date on all our friends from various group homes and the best way to be involved. I wish she was not so hesitant to share news that was distressing. I thought we had more time to meet up for dinner and a movie! Sonya you will be greatly missed. I hope heaven gives you all the freedom you need to let your bright spirit shine without pain or limitations. Love you…..

What I remember about Sonya is that she always smiled. She always made others happy and she always made them feel special. Sonya was always the kind of person who lit up a room, and she’ll be missed for her warmth and kindness.

Sonya was an amazing person. She was my friend for 38 years, friends with my husband for 24 years and godmother to our daughter. She was a blessing to all who knew her. We love her and will deeply miss her. Rest in Peace dear friend.
