I was Sonja's high school classmate and am sorry to hear of her death.  I always liked her so much and loved her beautiful blond hair.  She was fun to be around - always laughing and having a good time.  She always dressed so nicely and had beautiful clothes.  I have fond memories of her and good old Montpelier High!
