Please know that you are very much in our thoughts during this difficult time. We hope you find comfort in the memories you shared with Sonja and in the love that surrounds you now.

  • So sorry to hear of Sonja’s passing, my condolences to Bill & her family. - Posted by: Rita Galliford (nee Beer) (co-worker A/C) on: Aug 20, 2025

  • Sonja was a wonderful friend. We were roommates after Air Canada closed the Calgary base and transferred us to Winnipeg. Bill followed shortly after. I was enabled to commute between Calgary and Winnipeg for several years, thanks to the Barbaza's renting me a bedroom in their townouse. Sonja visited me frequently over the years, in Calgary and later in Victoria. We never ran out of things to talk about. I shall miss her very much. She was a very special lady. My deepest condolences to Bill, Pat and Debbie. - Posted by: Genie Cossitt Wright (Friend, Co-Worker) on: Aug 18, 2025
