To Felder family,

She had fought a good fight and is was time for the LORD to take her home. I dearly LOVED Cousin Sonja, however I know she is in a better place. The way I explain death to the families I counsel, is that death is like a open wound, it hurts like hell now. But one day it will healed, however you will always have that scar!! To my cousin Lisa I turely know your PAIN. God bless you all, our prayers are with you.
