I am so very sorry for your loss. I am so grateful I was close and got to see Sonja before she left us. Much love to you all.

Sonja was a constant at Sunrise, which was comforting...kind of like coming home. It is a blessing that she had family and a wide circle of friends with whom she shared her life. Peace.

To Sonja's family: I had not seen Sonja since we sold our Tybee house several years ago but I have such lovely memories of her from Sunrise. She always had a smile on her face and a hug for me and was so kind to my family. They certainly don't make 'em like Sonja anymore. She was a special lady,

Sonja was a beautiful lady inside and out!! Hardest working woman on Tybee for many years. Her kindness was extended to everyone she ever met. Rest in peace.

So sorry for your loss! Sonja was such an inspiration, always working hard and always had a great smile with a hug when we saw each other. She was like family! I wish I could be there Thursday but will be giving prayers. Sandra Hosti Cornelius will see her on the other side and they will tell each other some of my secrets. Lots of love!! William, Tina and family

I started working with Sonya when I was 15. She was such a special light for the next 22 years of my life.

- Joseph Butts, Savannah, GA

I am truly sorry for all that you have lost with the passing of a true tybee treasure. I always admired her strength and compassion for so many. To say that Sonya was a true OG of tybee is an understatement and to let you all know she touched so many and they are all better for that. God bless

Such a beloved Tybee icon, her smile and grace made a bad day good and a good day better. Condolences and blessings to her family and friends.

- Shirley Sessions , Tybee , GA

Sonja was always smiling and ready with a hug even when she was so tired. She was a hard worker and made it such a pleasure to visit her in the morning at Sunrise and later at Fannies! I am sure that Pat Whitney is talking her ear off in Heaven as Pat ate breakfast there every day! I am saddened that I won’t see you again on Tybee but happy that you will finally be able to rest. You were loved and a large part of Tybee!
