Our HHS Class of 1968 is saddened by the loss of our dear classmate. Sonya was always so confident in who she was, and the goals she wanted to pursue. We always looked forward to her coming back for our class reunions, because she was bringing her beautiful smile, personality, and always, always, her very own style and flair! Love and sympathy to her family. Wilma

Rest in Heaven Sonya.
