Words cannot express the dept of pain and sorrow I know each one of you are feeling. Bro. Sonny & Sonny may God give you the peace that you need as a parent losing your child. Only from the outside looking in and watching my mom can I witness the sorrow the loss of a child brings. Tracee, Tammy and Tim.....Each day will be reminders of things you shared together and tears will be shed, but with God's Grace each day will become more bearable and you will be able to laugh and smile about all the memories you all had together. Love you all!
