Sonia Johnson was a gentle, caring, and encouraging soul. She was a very integral part of both Mt Zion Baptist Church as well as Church of the Firstborn. I shall never forget how she'd empower me to remain in character despite difficult atmospheres. As my administrator, she kept me on target with my appointments and constantly reminded me of my engagements. Sonia was also an avid giver and this challenged me to step up my game. One thing I could count with Sonia, she was going to be faithful. There would be no doubt, if she said she would be in place, she would be there. Sigmund Freud said of death, "It is the gravest of misfortunes." But as believers, we know that she only sleeps. Family, you have my deepest condolences in the loss of such a stalwart in the faith.
