I was very sad to see the memorial marker at the reception desk today at the office. It crushed my heart, she was the most caring individual. I have known Sonia practically my whole life , inside and outside that office.  From being a kid, to getting married and having my own kids. Sonia was a staple to that office and always a stop on the way in and out. I am beyond sad and my prayers are with her family at this time. She was such a light and a great blessing to know her and call her a friend. 

I went to the offices today and saw Esonia’s memorial marker at the front desk.   I was deeply saddened to see it.  Esonia was a wonderful caring woman, a true professional who went the extra mile.  For me, while taking care of my elderly mother, she was invaluable and deeply compassionate.   I will never forget her numerous kindnesses.  And I enjoyed making her laugh.  My deepest sympathies to her many friends and family.    

My beloved Neice Esonia,
You remained my favorite Neice all of our lives, from childhood through now our senior years.  You will be wholeheartedly missed, 



Your Uncle Tracy Landfair & family

Condolences to Esonia’s children.  Your mother was a beautiful woman who all of us cousins loved.  Every time I think of her I instantly smile because I don’t think I’ve ever seen her not smiling.  She was always the same and will remain my little cute sweetheart cousin who looks just like her Mama.😊🖤🕊️
Please know that you have a whole giant pool of cousins and extended family.  Call on us if you need us.  The entire family is in my prayers.

My dear Auntie Esonia… our conversations over the years will never be forgotten. The advice you gave still ring loud to this day! 

Thank you for being there when I needed you, thank you for my cousins Kayla and Jaseka ( for the longest I thought they were twins because you dressed them alike for so many years… LOL) , and for introducing me to ketchup on my eggs ( LOL).  

Your legacy lives on through everyone you’ve touched and cross paths with.

You will always be with me spiritually…Through the years we’ve shared some bad times and some good times….I won’t complain…, Whenever Holidays were celebrated at 8403 you, Jaseka, and Kayla were there…you were there helping clean out 8403 a couple days before we moved out…When you were looking for and apartment in the suburbs, every week we would put Jaseka and Kayla in the back seat and we would go searching until you found Bensenville….you were sooo happy.  There are so many memories that I’ll never forget….Thank God  and you for Jaseka and Kayla and my great grandchildren too,  love ya.

From her Elmhurst family and friends.  In honor and in loving memory of Esonia. Her presence is truly missed.

I was so sad to hear this tragic news.  I worked with Esonia at Loyola.  She was a very private person but I could frequently get her to laugh and banter back and forth.  I enjoyed working with her.  She managed many moving pieces in her role.  Sending prayers to the family.

Sonia was a very dear person.   She seemed to be always be  present when things were at their worst.   She would share her support to me and others in her actions and words.   She  was very honest and   I appreciated that. .  My condolences to you and you’re all in my prayers.

My dad my aunt and my unk loved each other like no other she will be miss. 
Mister Landfair

You have always been there for me Auntie. When my mom died and I spent the summer at your house. When my brother died you made sure I didn’t need anything. When my grandma and grandpa died you were the one calling and checking in. I love you and will always make sure the world does not forget the soul it lost. 

Your Favorite Nephew

Esonia and I worked together at Loyola years ago. I will always remember our conversations.  She was a great woman.  I'm sorry to her family for such a great loss. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

We wasn’t blood related but you definitely became a part of my mother (Stephanie Morgan) family which me and my siblings called Auntie. Since I can remember you and my mom hung out so much and supported each other in everything and always was there. Even after my mom passed you were there and now it’s a tragedy for me to know that your no longer here. Now you and my mom can be there for each other again. I will always love you even pass life Rest in Heaven Auntie.
