Sonya was only with us for a short time but she left a print on all the Itg family. It was a shock to all of us. Rest in peace young lady. Itg 3rd shift.
To the family My deepest condolences .I had the pleasure of meeting Sonya when she came to Greensboro Itg to work. She was so happy go lucky and always smiling with kind words every time I saw her . She nicknamed me Ms fancy because she said no matter what time I came to work I always had my makeup on so well. That was our first conversation I told her that was for everyone else's benefit not mine I was just trying not to scare anybody . She laughed and laughed from that point on we laughed a lot she always was positive and happy and that's what I will remember most about her. She was very proud of all her children and told me she got her looks from her mama. May your memories comfort youβ€οΈ
Prayers for u and your family much love;(
