We did so may things together like the senior talent show with kiss- make up and the best dance routine ever. Sonya pushed me when I needed pushed. For example going out for the MissHeath Padget...Which she won!!! The most beautiful and bravest strongest and loyal friend I could ever ask for. Her friendship was golden she was always an inspiration to me and now... She is an Angel and shines brighter than ever I am blessed for knowing her.
All my heart and all my love my dear beautiful friend.
