r husband and his love for her is rarely equaled, and their love for each other was carried over to her children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and her extended family. Always faithful and true through rough and smooth times; an example set for many. God's holy word says it correctly, "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints." Sonja's loving family requests in lieu of flowers, donations be made in her memory, to the Illinois Cancer Care Center at illlinoiscancercarefoundation.org. A burial of Sonja's ashes will be held at a later date at her family cemetery in North Carolina. To leave online condolences, please visit www.oakhinesfuneralhome.com
