  • I spent 2 months every year from the time I was born until I grew up at our Grandparents farm next to Sonia's parents farm. Needless to say, they were my brothers and sisters, and we spent many days getting into trouble, walking to the store to get brown sugar for fudge, and helping with the chores or picking berries. Does not sound like much, but to us it was heaven. A close bond was forged, and will never be forgotten dear Sonia. I give my heartfelt condolences to all of her family. You will miss your Mom and Grandma but just remember you carry a little of her in your hearts, and she will be with you forever. Olga and Lolly please accept my condolences. You were all a close knit family . I will miss her too. - Posted by: Gloria Campos (Clark) (first cousin) on: Apr 22, 2013
