My beautiful sister Sonia, I miss you everyday, I think of you every night I miss our conversations. I love you very much. I will never forget you.

Beautiful Sonia today marks a year you went to heaven… how I miss your talks about what we were going to do for the holidays with our  families. 
Missing you always and keeping you in my heart.

Hoy hace un año que te nos fuistes al cielo con nuestro padre celestial.  Hoy comparto este retrato que nos tomamos en una fiesta de SallieMae.  Aquí está Orlando mi adorado esposo que se nos fue también 7 años antes que tú.  Mi amiga/hermana querida descansa en paz y nos veremos de nuevo en el paraíso.  Love you sister.  

Amiga querida ya se cumple en dos dias la fecha de tu partida.  Me haces tanta falta hablar contigo.  Siempre te llevo en mi corazón.  Te quiero mucho sis.  Your sister by heart Carmencita.  😘😘

Querida Amiga/Hermana.  Me hace mucha falta hablar contigo.  Te extraño mucho. Siempre estas en mi corazón.  Te quiero mucho.

Mi querida amiga.  Como extraño hablar contigo.  Yo no soy una persona de muchas amigas pero tú eras no solo mi amiga eres mi hermana del alma.  Siempre te recordaré.  Love you.  

Happy birthday in heaven querida amiga.  Missed you.  Love you

To the dearest family of Sonia my deepest condolences, our relationship wasn’t as close as I would have wanted but never the less it saddens me to know she is longer with us. May you find peace in knowing she is with our gracious and loving God. My thoughts and prayers are with you. ❤️

My dear sweet Sonia, you will live on in my heart always. The love you shared with me I will treasure. Thank you for your compassion, understanding, patience and loyalty. Whenever I watch a Christmas movie, I will remember all the times we watched them together, laughing and crying. Thank you for opening your home to me when I needed you most. Thank you for listening to me rant and cry and giving me the love and support, I needed so desperately.  The love you have for your family is an example for all those who know you. We had so many plans for our future together, I will think of you always as I attempt to go forward without you by my side. You are my best friend and always will be. Love you through eternity. Barbara

Ciso, Teresa & Family, Today and always, may loving memories bring you peace, comfort, and strength.
Our hearts are with you & family in your time of sorrow.
Wishing you peace and strength during this difficult time. We will truly missed Sonia💔😢🙏 
Our deepest condolences, 
Ramos Family

You will be missed forever and always my dear friend. The beautiful moments we shared will always speak of the great person that you were. Thank you for your friendship. Rest in peace up in heaven my dear friend!

Great pain in my heart. Sadness, a sense of loss and disbelief. I am comforted however by the lifetime of memories that I will always be able to fall back on as I was blessed to have had such a beautiful person in my life and privileged to have been able to share such wonderful memories with my sister. I will miss you always.

Although my heart aches and I feel extreme pain at knowing you are no longer here with us, I am so very fortunate to have been able to share in the life of such a wonderful person and more importantly such a beautiful sister. I will keep you close to me in thoughts and prayers for the rest of my days 

        My dear Sonia, your beautiful smile, love of family, and zest for life was evident to all that knew you.
      Some of my fondest memories are the times when we prayed for your and Ciso's beautiful granddaughter Adriana after her birth, and during your dear 'son-in-love', Andy's affliction with Covid-19.  We had faith and believed that God was not finished with them yet, and He wasn't. And they are here today--as a part of your legacy of faith.  
        I remember how we would exchange souvenirs after our vacations, and how we would exchange gifts at Christmas. We loved picking out the gifts for the both of you as well as receiving yours. 
        Sonia, you were such a woman of strength as was evident to me in what were to be your final days. During those times you were determined to care for your loving husband and dear mother--even preparing a meal for me and Don  despite my protests, and we were so appreciative. We are still talking about it.   We have been so blessed to have you and Ciso as neighbors for the past 18 years, and  will forever treasure your friendship.
        Ciso, there is a passage of Scripture in the Bible that says, "He that finds a wife, finds a good thing and obtains favor from the Lord" (Proverbs 18:22). Surely God blessed you with a good wife, and the perfect mother for your children.  For that you can be ever grateful. 
        Please know that Don and I love you and your family. Our prayers are with you, and we are here for you. May God comfort you in His own special way during this most difficult time🙏. 
        With Love in Christ Jesus, Kathy and Don.

'Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal.'

I didn't know Sonia very well, but she sure did raise one of the most wonderful people I have ever known!  Her daughter is such a kind soul full of love and genuine care for others, a beautiful reflection of her mother and the legacy her mother leaves behind.

Sonia's days on this earth were too few!  We take comfort knowing they were enough to bless those she touched and leave lasting impressions on her family to carry forward.

God bless this lovely family and take comfort Sonia has no more pain and no more sorrow!

Dear Titi,

When times got tough, you were always my first call. When something exciting happened in my life, you were my first call. You were always there for me. Your wisdom and advice was like no other. You helped me in so many ways. I don’t know how I would have made it through a lot of obstacles without you. I love you beyond words and I know you are watching over us until we meet again. 

Love,
Little Sonia

Sweet Sonia, it is so hard to believe you have left this world.  You were one of the nicest, smartest and funniest people I know.  I will always remember the memories of our work trips to Puerto Rico and hold them close to my heart along with all the other fun times in and out of work.  Your smile was contagious and always brightened a room. 
May Father God embrace your beautiful family and give them the strength, peace and love as they say goodbye for now.🙏♥️🙏
Until we meet again, Descansa en Paz ♥️🌷🙏

Happy thanksgiving in heaven my dearest friend/sister.  I will always keep you in my heart. Love you sis🥰

Thank you for being the best mom a daughter could ask for. You always made the holidays incredible. I will think of you and all the wonderful times we had together. All the memories of our family vacations from childhood through adulthood will be cherished. My favorite memories of you is your unconditional love and support you showed me despite all my flaws. No matter the situation you always had my back and helped me become the person I am today: hardworking, independent, honest, giving, loving, and caring. I got all my best qualities from you and will be forever thankful. Love you so much my wonderful mother! Forever and always. If you see King keep him company for me. 

Descanza en Paz mi querida amiga, mi oraciones contigo .  A toda la familia Dios Le de mucha fuerza   para continuar . Nunca te olvidaremos, Sheyla,  Edwin , Gricel yUlvia


Sonia, I will never forget your beautiful smile.  You were one of the sweetest people I have ever met.  We shared some awesome times at work and I will cherish our talks, laughs, Spanish-teaching  sessions, etc. You will never be forgotten. My thoughts, prayers and condolences are being sent to your family. 
Rest in Heavenly Peace, Dear Friend. 

For my Mami,
Thank you for being the best mother I could ask for. You always built me up to give me the confidence to reach my goals. Without you I would not have become the strong, independent woman I am. Without you I would not be the nurturing mother I am. You always told me that no matter what I do in life that you would be there to cheer me on and support me. Believe me when I say I always felt your support even when I lived hundreds of miles away. You were always there and I could not ask for more. I can only wish to be half the loving and generous person you were. 

With all my heart I love you and promise I will instill the same strength you instilled in me in my own daughter. We will have generations of strong women to come because of the example you set.

Thank you Mami ❤ I love you ❤


Mother in law (mi suegra),
I thank God for meeting such a great and kind person. Thank you for allowing me to marry your daughter and always being there for us. I will never forget our conversations and the time we spent together.

Love you forever suegra mia.

Sonia was my Texas Mom. She always treated me like family.  Teresa and Haydee are so lucky to have had such an incredible lady for a mother.  I will always remember her big smile and laugh. I am lucky that  she was my friend. 

My deepest condolences to family and friends!  Know that we are thinking of you and morn along side you at this time.  Love and thoughts of peace to you. 

My dear friend Sonia how I will miss you …
We’ve shared so many life’s events , as I sit here remembering our trip to Puerto Rico and how hard we laughed at all the crazy situations that occurred.  We were more like sisters than friends. 
I will miss the joy you shared and the love of family , so as you would always tell me at the end of the day " los vemos" see you and we will again some day .
Love you always 

My dearest friend my heart is broken.  You weren’t only my friend you were my sister.  You will be missed.  RIP. I will always remember the beautiful and wonderful friend I had.  Until we meet again in heaven.  You will be watching over us together with my loving husband Orlando. 😘😘

Lord knows how much I'm hurting, missing you, the emptiness. I love you so very much. Thank you for all the good times we had, for being there those late night conversations we enjoyed. I will remember you until we meet again in heaven. I'm so very glad that you are at rest now with our heavenly father. I love you sis.
