Sunny and I were inseparable in elementary school before my family moved away to Colorado. 

 I remember many sleepovers at the Surloffs. Listening to her dad play the trumpet in the closet and his office, Maria’s cooking, takeout Chinese food and time by the pool. Sunny left this earth too soon. She was such a beautiful and kind soul. I am so sorry for you loss. 

The Surloff family will always have a special  place in my heart.   The memories of Sunny running around the office when she was young.     Sincerest sympathy for you and your family during this difficult time.  Michele & Tom Osinska.

It’s so difficult to find the words to express the sorrow that has been left upon  the untimely passing of Sunny.  She was one of the most sincere, loving, loyal and empathetic friends I have known. She was also funny, I smile when I think of all the memories I have of her.  I will think of her every time I see a butterfly and always find ways to honor her life. This world is just not the same without her.  My thoughts are with David, Gabriel and all of Sunny’s family and friends. All my love, Leah Tibbals

Sunny was my neighbor and I watched this bright ray of sunshine grow from a beautiful little girl into a gorgeous women. She was just as beautiful on the inside too! There are no words to ever express the unimaginable loss that has devastated her family,  friends and all that were fortunate enough to know her.  I pray that there will be justice for this horrible tragedy and the person responsible will be held accountable for ending her life. My heart aches for every member of her family,  especially Cheri, David, Ivy and her 3 children, Mark, and her precious son Gabriel.   May God provide the strength needed to manage your grief. Sunny definitely made the world a better place . I always looked forward to her social media posts highlighting her fitness routine, nutrition and how much she loved her family. She was such an inspiration and  I will miss her. Much love and prayers  Donna Bello and family.

I am in such shock! What a great person taken from us so soon. Sunny took her time and really helped me get to where I am now with my health. I am speechless and I pray for your family. Thank you for all you did. 

To my little sister....smooth or bumpy or anywhere in between, 44 years of paths walked together and not one step did I not love you with all my heart. You are the best version of me and you will live on through me as long as I live. We have been through so much together with the death of our dad and the birth of the three children you adored in mine and then had Gabe whom you were the greatest mother to. I’m so happy to have had beach days with you and our talks that were so deep and meaningful and our sister time that no one else could understand or come close to understanding. No matter what the struggles of life could bring, as we said we would always be there for each other. I’m so glad I got to see you recently once again and will never forget the love we had for each other. You are my little sister always - then and now - and I will remember you in a way that never lets you die.  Steve also considered you a great friend and part of the family and the kids all adored you.  I love you Boog. 
 Love always, Your big sister, Ivy and Steve (Jordan, Noah, Mikey and Brandon too)

We are so very sorry to learn of the tragic loss of Sunny and extend our condolences to Cheri, Ivy, her husband and son and to all those who loved her.  We hope that your beautiful memories will bring you some comfort in the coming days.

With our deepest sympathy,
