Sonja was the daughter
of Burley and Cindi
Damron
Caudill. She was
born on June 23rd of 1952. The Lord
called her home
on August 8th of 2004. She left to
mourn her death:
4 brothers, Roger, Jeffery, Robert and
Phillip Caudill;
1 sister, Linda Sue Back; 2 brothers-in-law, Michael
A. Cornett and Steven
D. Back; and 1
special sister-in-law, Bobbie Ashbey Caudill (wife of
Jeffery). Sonja
loved Bobbie so much. She also left a mother-in-law,
Sarah Frances
Cornett, who misses her greatly. She also left a host of
cousins,
relatives and friends.
Sonja always looked forward to Bobbie and me
coming to visit
her and taking
care of her. We gave her all the care and love that we
could in her
battle with sickness. Sonja’s deceased loving husband,
Jr. Cornett,
always said, “Please take care of her if something happens
to me before it
does her.” I think Jr. would have been proud of
Bobbie and me.
Sonja was a registered nurse and loved her
work. She worked for
as long as her
health held up. She met a lot of people and made many
friends. She
loved arts and crafts, and was a perfect hand to decorate.
She showed off
this skill of decorating when she and Jr. built a
beautiful
home. She got so
sick she wasn’t able to keep house before the
new wore off. Bud
and I did everything that we could to help maintain
the house and
make her comfortable as long as she lived. She
has a home now
that she don’t have to worry about thieves or robbers
breaking in and
taking what she and Jr. worked so hard for. Her
new home is a
home in Heaven.
Sonja was a Christian. She belonged to the Big
Leatherwood
Church. She had
belonged there since May 12th of 1974. She wanted
nothing more than
to go be with Jesus. She also could not wait to see
her Jr. She
believed in her heart that Jr. would be in Heaven. She
wanted so much
for him and her to be together again, without all the
sickness they had
endured here on earth. She said, “If two people
every loved each
other, we do.” I have a hope that she is there with
all her loved
ones and deceased family.
Written by her mother-in-law, Sarah Frances
Cornett.
