Brett Boyd wrote a sympathy message

“Sondra was truly an amazing person. I’m so grateful that she played a major roll in the care and development of our three children. She was not just a day care provider, she was a role model. She had a quiet presence of respect, honor and love and cared for our kids like they were her own. She watched them grow up with pride knowing she was at the foundation of them all! Her and Dick made an incredible team. It was an honor to know and just be a part of their journey. Brett & The Boyds”
