On January 3rd, 2026, my beloved mother, Sonja Arnold, was called home. Although she had some recent hospital stays, her passing was sudden and unexpected, and it still does not feel real that I cannot pick up the phone and call her. I am struggling to imagine a future without her, but I know that her life and her love will always be a part of me. She touched so many lives with her kindness, faith, and strength, and I am grateful for every moment we shared.

As I prepare to say goodbye, I want to give my mother a proper home going that honors her 61 years of life. The funds raised will be used for her funeral expenses, helping to cover the costs of her services and ensure that family and friends can gather to celebrate her memory. Your support will make it possible for us to come together, share stories, and remember the beautiful person she was.

If you are able to give, anything would be appreciated. Your generosity, love, and prayers mean so much to our family during this difficult time. Thank you for standing with us and helping us honor Sonja’s life and legacy.
