May God hold Sonia in His arms. She was a kind gentle woman. We worked together several times at St Bernadette Catholic church. Peace to her family.
Sister Sonia will be greatly missed, we love her dearly. She was always willing to reach out to those in need, especially the sick, the lonely and forgotten, very compassionate, loving, and funny person. She loved to be around our children from the Jr Legion of Mary and they loved her too. She was one of our dear sisters of the Star of the Sea Praesidium of the Legion of Mary at St Paul the Apostle Catholic Church. I love you my dear Sister Sonia. My deepest condolences to her loving family, I love you all!
Sonja was a caring and loving woman and we will all miss her so very much! Pray for us from Heaven, Sonja!!!🙏🏼
I will always remember your sweet disposition for students and teachers. Thank you for all that you did for our students and teachers in Pasadena.
