Her and I joked throughout our friendship that she is my sister from another mother... Sonya definitely filled the shoes of a sister to me. She is the strongest, most courageous, loving, caring, honest, thoughtful person I know. Her accent tickled me to a laugh, especially when she was about to argue with someone :)  Working with her was always an experience :) We stayed connected once we no longer worked together after 7 years. We called, texted and visited but it wasn't enough and now our time is up.  I am going to miss you, Sonya! 

Harry, Sam, Todd, Richard, Toni , grandkids and to all who were by her side helping and caring for her, God Bless You and Thank You!!!  I thank God that Sonya had an amazing, loving and supportive family that was there for her unconditionally. You all are amazing!  I wish there were words that I could say to take the pain away but there are no right words for a such a great loss. I send you all love and hugs.

Sonya showed tons of  love and support when I had no clue what I was doing when I had my first born... I am forever grateful and proud to of had Sonya in our lives.  

I know she loved her family so much! Thru our friendship she showed a great example of all the titles she held in this life.

It had been awhile since we had visited and this day was cut a bit short because of my allergies but we did get some laughs, stories and hugs till the next visit. I am going to miss talking and laughing with you. I am so happy we were able to give you your flowers while you were here.

We are so grateful that you were feeling well enough for a visit that day.  This was  great day spent and we will cherish it always.

Todd, Toni, Nick and Harry, I am so sorry for your great loss. It’s absolutely heartbreaking. She fought hard to stay with you. She is now at peace in the arms of her Heavenly Father, and with Linda, and she awaits the day you all will be joined together once again, forever.  No more pain, sorrow or tears. Until that day she will live on in your hearts and in your memories, and my prayer is for God to hold you all close to His heart and carry you through. My love to all.

Dear Harry & Family,
I am so very sorry of the loss of Sonya. She was such a warm person and loved by all. Her memory will live on forever. May she Rest in Peace and may her spirit live on forever. My condolences Donna Lenoci

Sonya Yamcek was not only a wonderful wife, mother or grandmother she was a woman of heart to my daughter Toni which was her daughter in law her son Todd’s wife and my grandson Nicholas to her home. Sonya had a wish that her son Todd, Toni and Nicholas would be in their first home. Her wish came true.  Sonya’s outlook in life was pure joy. I will deeply miss Sonya for she was family and i know she is at peace and no more suffering. I truly believe she is with her beloved love ones in Heaven.  May your Spirit shine to all. Love you, Donna Lenoci

TO MY MOTHER - IN - LAW

I choose your son not knowing that loving him
would also bring me closer to you, an amazing women. 
The woman who accepted me into her family embraced me with all her heart and loved me wholeheartedly. Thank you for welcoming me into your family with open arms

Words are not enough to express my gratitude and tell you how much you mean to me. Thank you for not only for raising the man of my heart, but also for loving me like your own.

We little knew the day that
God was going to call your name.
In life we loved you dearly, 
In death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you
But you didn't go alone.
For part of us went with you 
The day God called you home.

She didn’t lose the battle 
She fought to the very end. 
May you rest in peace from the illness and pain. 

Love your
Daughter in Law 
Tonimarie
