We are extremely sad that our dear friend Sonia has passed away. We grew close to her and Morris by sitting next to them at Shabbat services at Beth David. We continued our friendship by visiting them at their home. We will miss Sonia, her sense of humour, beautiful smile and interesting stories. She was always hospitable and took an interest in us as well. We extend our condolences to the entire family.

We are saddened to learn that Sonja is no longer with us. We knew Sonja as a person of great dignity, fortitude, wisdom, a warm heart, and some great one liners that made us smile. She was one sweet Lady! Our dear friend, Esther, is so much like her mother. Sonia was a wonderful matriarch. She was devoted to her family and they adored her. Esther, Wilf, Shimmy, and families, we are sorry for your loss. May Sonia’s memory be a blessing.

Dear Esther, Wilfred, Shimmy and Families: It is hard to find the words express my sympathies to you all over loss of Sonia. To describe her as a "matriarch" is so true. I knew her my whole life, as she was one of my parents' best friends, but more recently we developed a friendship ourselves. She was ever so warm and caring, wanting to know - and remembering - what everyone was up to in her large circle of family and friends. Through her many stories I came to understand just how much she did for others her whole life. A truly inspirational lady; she will be greatly missed. May you be sustained by your good memories.

Dear Esther, Wilf, and Shimmy. Deepest condolences on the passing of your mom. I have only beautiful memories of your entire family that reach back to the Bathurst Manor days and your home on Searle Ave. The words spoken by her family are a wonderful testimony to your mom and to the generation of Holocaust survivors who left the devastation of their previous lives to start new ones in Toronto. I am also remembering the cottages on "Goldllust Bay" on Go Home Lake, and the warmth I experienced when boating over to the cottage of Sonia and Moishe. May her memory be a blessing for the generations that follow. Marty and Charna Kofsky

There’s a reason they’re called “the good old days”. You knew your neighbours and looked out for one another. Sonia was like a second mom for me back in the Manor days on Searle Avenue. From her porch directly across the street, she always shared a kind word and a smile. She emanated such warmth. I loved her dearly and will hold her among my most cherished memories.

Dear Esther, Josette and I were saddened to hear of your mother's death. I remember when she and your father would be together in shul. You and your sibs have been devoted caregivers, truly fulfilling the mitzvah of honouring your parents. We hope that you and the grandchildren carry many good memories and stories that can be passed down and shared with the great grandchildren. We hope that you will be comforted and consoled in the days and years to come.
