With Thoughts of Sympathy

Stephanie,
My heart felt prayers are with you at this time of your sorrow. Sonny was one of the smoothest, coolest brothers God ever created. He invented the term that young folks use now "swag". He will be missed as he was a delight to everyone who came into his presence. May God bless you with his peace that transcends all understanding.
Love,
Valerie and Amaris Rice
