To The Entire Jolly Family,
I'm so sorry to hear about the passing of such a hard & caring person.
My family new Sonny only by ( The Woodman). We had been lucky enough to meet him over15 years ago.
He was always so polite & prompted in meeting me & my family. the deleivers always had been when he said he would be at the house. If he couldn't make it he or his lovly wife would call me.
I know in my heart that Sonny passed into our next relm with ease, maybe GOD needing a woodman and called for Sonny.
I just wanted to pass this note onto you,
