It is with deep sadness and heavy hearts that we inform you of the death of our fellow H.O.G. member and friend, Sonja Houseman, who passed away Saturday morning unexpectedly.  Information on Sonja's visitation and funeral service is below.

We have two opportunities to pay our final respects to Sonja.  A ride from BBHD to the funeral and a motorcycle escort to her graveside.
