Sunny never met her mother, although she apparently wrote letters that were never answered. Recent research indicates that her mother Maria lived until at least 1925, while Sunny's grandmother Elizabeth had died in 1905.

If she was being "held prisoner" this certainly ended by 1905. | Sunny never met her mother, although she apparently wrote letters that were never answered.
