You have gone too early, I have years of many wonderful memories but most especially as a teenager, when you welcomed me into your home almost every weekend so that Sue and I could "hang out" . You hardly ever complained even though I am sure we were very annoying at times. You will live on through the stories we tell one another when we remember you together.

With lots of love to Sue and Tab you are always in my heart.

My family and I were saddened to hear about Oma. I first met her in my elementary school days, that I attended with Tabitha, and Oma was always kind, warm and gentle. I always have and always will remember her fondly. My family and I will always remember and miss seeing her around town with that smile and spark that was passed down to her granddaughter. All my love to Tabitha and of course her mom Sue.

Oma was wonderful. From the first time I met her, she made me feel like a part of the family. Always warm and welcoming she would invite anyone to sit and to share her happiness. She had he own kind of wit and charm that made her unlike anyone I had ever met before. I loved listening to her talk about when Sue and Tabi were younger, or stories about Germany, and seeing her smile; her girls (Sue and Tabi) always brought her the biggest smiles. Oma will be missed by all who knew her. All my support and love go to Tabi and Sue. Her smile will forever be in my heart.

I was so very saddened to hear the news of Oma's passing, as I knew how very much she meant to Sue and Tab. She was always such a social butterfly. Every time Tab and I would go to visit at her apartment, we'd have to hunt her down. She'd either be found gracing the streets near the central market, at the Timmie's, or at a friend's. I will forever remember her charming little smile, welcoming nature, and hilariously witty comments. She will be truly missed. I send my condolences to her wonderful family. xo

Oma was truely a magnificent soul. I never saw her without a smile on her face.
There was nothing in this world she loved more than Tabi and Sue, and I know they can feel her smiling down upon them.
Oma will be missed by all who were blessed enough to have come across her in life and she will continue to inspire us all.

Sonya was a joyful and playful presence - sharp, quick-witted and intelligent. I remember two things most about Sonja: her constant smile and the love and pride she felt for her grand-daughter. Sorry for your loss, Sue. Rest in peace Sonya.
