Memories and Condolences
for Sonja Boecker

Not sure what to say?





So sorry to have not heard sooner of Sonja's passing. All the Van Kampens extend their sympathies. Many happy times were spent with the VK's and Boeckers. Paul, Hank, Sonja and Hazel are together again. They shared so much during their lives and all are missed. Sorry we missed her services. You are in our thoughts and prayers as you go through your grief. I will never forget Sonja's beautiful voice singing in that "Little White Church At the Side of the Road". Daryl

I have just learned of Sonja's passing and I am so very sorry for her family's loss. My husband (late Dean Givler) and I were good friends with the Beckers during the years they lived in Naperville. I have many great memories of times together. I will tell you, which I am sure you already know, that Sonja was a lovely, beautiful and delightful woman and my life has been enriched by knowing her. God Bless her family.
