As the years passed we separated but fate had it that we pursued the same goal within our professional role. " Family Nurse Practitioner ".

In the Mt. Moreland area this wonderful, awesome, caring lady was known as NURSE, at St. Matthews Anglican Church she was Sister Sonia who was always there with warm encouragements and smiles as she leads the mothers' union which provided community outreach and support for our vulnerable population. For my parent (Adrian and Inez), she was Sis and to us she was Aunty, who was always, always there for our parents and us. I am hoping that you will find peace and comfort just knowing her impact on the lives of all of us who were fortunate and privilege to know Sister Sonia and how much we loved and treasured her. " May the love of God softly enfold you, gently uplift you, comfort and hold you...The lord is close to the broken hearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit" Sanny, Don, Morvie, Herman, Inez James
