To All the Family of Sonja Thorne, For almost 40 years Sonja was my dear, close, and most special friend. More than anyone else, other than my own family, she influenced my entire life. Sonja had a rare gift of sweetness and just plain goofiness that made her a very special person. Her creativity was inspiring. She loved her family beyond measure. Together with Sonja and Dick Thorne, my husband, Jim and I truly had the time of our lives, flying all over the western states in Dick's little plane, and traveling to Mexico, Hawaii and more. They were our sister and brother. We learned so much from them. Along with our other dear friends, John and Janet Audorff, we jokingly formed a "club" called "LeGang". We even had hats made that said that. Yes, I guess we were all pretty goofy, but surely Sonja and Dick were our leaders. Does anyone remember the Hat Party we hosted together on 8-1-81 that started at 5:17 p.m.? What sweet memories. We were with them through births, deaths, and the various trials of life, and now the hardest part, we must say goodbye to Sonja. She left us way too soon, but we get some comfort knowing Sonja and Dick are together again. Jim and I loved them dearly and they will always be in our hearts. We send our love and condolences to all the family.
