Sonna, What Happened???

[Blue Dog]

I read on one of the threads today that Sonna had passed. I was not able to find the one that was talking about it. I got to know her a few years ago in a different way than the person she portraid at the fairgrounds. She was doing her laundry at a small place off St. Charles and was staying at a friend's house nearby between the weekends. She was a very a very insightful, bright, open person. She loved life and was a free-spirit who just "let it go." She was one of the "characters of the Fest" who made the festival what it is today. She had a hula hoop with streamers with a pole that held it up. She expained that it was a "pole in the hole." I asked her if that had a special meaning and she shyly smiled and nodded her head.
If you know what happened to her, please respond.
I will miss her and so will the FEST.

Sonna died two years back I think, of a cancer. She had missed one Fest getting treatment, then made it to one more. A fine person, sadly missed.

I agree, she was an amazing spirit.

Thanks for the reply. I think she would want to be remembered as who she really was, rather than who she portraid as a "wild woman" floating around the fairgrounds as a "character."
Love to Sonna, friend of Wing.

One of the neat features about this newfangled board is the search feature. Just hit the search link (the 6th one in the blue menu stripe), type in "Sonna", and you will find the thread that you seek.

I think sonna, like ed bradley, and all of us for that matter, would want to be remembered for loving the jazzfest. That's so much a part of our whole. Maybe that 's what she meant.
