Dear Ralph, Steven, and family,
Soni was one of the most generous women we've known. She was generous of heart and generous with her support of the things she loved including Windham Community Memorial Hospital, and Jorgensen Auditorium. She gave generously, anonymously herself, or through the Maury Cohn Foundation.She always retained her love of life, appreciation for even the small things that people did for her, and she always kept her delightful sense of humor. She adored little Avery, the light of her life. We loved her, and will always think of her and miss her. Our deepest sympathy to you all at this time.

TO Stephen and Ralph: Your Mother was a most special person. I loved attending the Opera as well as many a symphony orchestra presentation with her. She was wonderful company and great fun to be with. I also worked through the hospital with Soni and she was creative, had a good business sense and was always very giving. I so appreciated having the privelege to have known her and to have been her friend. My deepest sympathies to all members of her family. Marie Hakmiller
