We are sorry for your loss and hope you can push through it knowing she's in a better place
We are so sorry to hear of Sondra's passing. We will be holding all of you up in our prayers. May God be with all of you.❤️
Sondra was one of a kind. I always enjoyed talking with her. You have so many wonderful memories of her keep them close.
I had lost track of Sondra after all our fun times together as a kid. Sondra lived down the alley from me at the Venerbles, her grandparents. One of our favorite fun times was playing paper dolls under the old walnut tree with a bench around it. We had perfect families with our paper dolls. Grandma Venerble invited me to eat with them many times which was such a great treat for me. Sondra and I were very close as kids--we were like sisters. Her sister-in-law played with us many times, Shirley Meyers (Bill Meyer's sister.) It was so sad losing track of Sondra, Shirley and Bill. It sounds like she and Bill had a very good marriage and lots of children and grandchildren. I know her family and friends will miss her so much. So sad to lose childhood friends, it just seems like yesterday I was running down the alley to see Sondra's. We Pray her life in the hereafter will be wonderful! Jane
