Sonia, you always made me laugh. The minute you saw me you said, Jary, what's up? How the hell are you? LOL You were loved by so many. You always found a way to make someone smile and laugh. The Quintana family will miss you. Till we meet again someday in Heaven. Rest In Peace.
I’m so sorry for the loss of such a wonderful person. She always made me laugh . She was a funny and compassionate girl. May the Lord comfort you and she rest in peace with our other departed angels. 😇
My Aunt Sonia you were always so kind to me! I remember when we ended up at Shady brook farms at the same time you there with your grandkids and I was on a school trip with Matthew we spent a good day picking pumpkins and watching the kids. You always said such good things about my kids made me feel like I was doing a good job as a Mom. You were such a loving Grandma and Mom easy to see how much you enjoyed being with them. I especially appreciated listening to you talk about your devotion to the Little Flower. I loved how we bonded over our Faith and enjoying the kids! We shared that joy together! I will truly miss you, very sad you had to go! But it's God's will. Until we meet again!:)
My last conversation with Sonia was beautiful because it was about Tara, Sonia telling me to be patient and to know that Tara was such a great person. I will always remember how Sonia stuck up for Tara when I complained. She stated how busy Tara is. Well, because of Sonia I understand Tara better. I will be patient and understand.
Dear Boo, I will miss you. You will always be my Sweetie. I know you hated that name especially if I said it, but I would give anything up to hear you yell and curse me out one more time. You will always be the love of my life. You gave me so much life, the kids and grandkids. It was lifetime full of pain, hardship but also many many happiness. Happiness building this wonderful family. From the moment that I saw you to your last breath, I love you. I would never trade the road that we travelled together. You made my life complete. Now it’s incomplete until I meet you in Heaven and give you a big Smooch. Love, your Sweetie.
