Sandy
It just broke my heart when I got your call; the first thing that went through my mind was OMG she just lost her soul mate, her best friend her husband. We have known each other for a long time and the one thing that always stood out with Sonny was the twinkle in his eyes when he talked about you and his children and you him. Not too often in life you meet a couple so in love after all these years. He cherished the ground you walked on. I know one day you two will be one again, and until then lean on your children and friends. I will miss that great big smile; he always had on his face, no matter what! And you couldn’t help but smile back. He was contagious, God bless you and your family, stay strong that’s what he would want and a hot cup of coffee. I love all of you so much and am always just a phone call away.
Love Kat

Sonny, I didn't know it was possible to get so close to someone in such a short time. Your laughter, quick wit, and that twinkle in your eye were so endearing to me. Your life was cut short, and yet you lived that life better than most would...I doubt you wasted a moment on regret. How I wish we had more time together. I promise you that Jim & I will be there for the love of your life, Sandi. God bless you as you go before us to that wonderful place. See you again one day, my brother! Love, Cindy

Pops, Jacob and Kelly We love and miss you Papa!!!!

Dear Sandi,
You have my complete symapthy and condolences in Sonny's passing. I wish Jacob and I could be there for you in your time of need. I'm so glad I got to meet all of you, but especially dad before he passed away. He was a wonderful person who will be missed. I know you hated our mock arguments, but I will miss them. They were funny. I know Jacob misses him because he keeps asking for his papa. Sonny will be in my thoughts and prayers. And so will you and your family. I'm sorry.
