Nathan, Connor and Isaac…..we are so saddened to hear of Sonya’s passing. We met at ante-natal class and enjoyed seeing the boys hang out in their first year before we moved back to Scotland. It was great to catch up when we came back for a holiday, and for the siblings to meet. Stay strong, sending much love and hugs from Karen, Cam, Lochie and Sarah xxx
Nathan, Isaac and Connor. Such hard news to hear and I pass on my deepest sympathies. Sonya and I worked together at the School of Pharmacy and we had such a great time sharing laughs and making memories. Sonya’s caring nature coupled with her big smile made it easy to be friends. Vale Sonya xxxx
Such a beautiful soul. From when I met you back in the old days of Girls Brigade, DNI, Logan Park and the worst class 3J on the planet to us battling breast cancer together. Lots of love to your amazing family, loving husband and beautiful boys. Xxx
Nathan, Connor and Isaac my deepest condolences to you all. I worked with Sonya at the School of Pharmacy and thought very highly of her. One thing that always stood out to me with Sonya is how much she loved her husband and boys and how immensely proud she was of them all. She was awesome to work with and I enjoyed getting our boys together when they were younger. My heart breaks for you all. Rest in peace Sonya xx
