I would clip off a twig and look at the inside. If it is greenish-colored and flexible, it could have some life in it. Also, if air in the sunroom was below freezing, your tree could be severely damaged or dead depending on how long the temperature was freezing.
If it didn't freeze, the leaves still may have fallen off due to shock from the cooler temperature.
I suggest you keep the tree in a room temperature spot with no drafts, keep it moist and wait for a few months. If nothing happens and the twigs become dry and brittle, your tree probably has died.
This is just out of my experience, the Meadowview staff probably know more about it than I do.
