Not sure what to say?

Dearest Mary, Im so sorry to hear about Sonny's passing. I know how much you loved and cared for him. You were his shining angel after his stroke and had continued to be so throughout the years. With love, Kim G.

So very sorry to hear this. I had not seen Sonny since we were kids, but sounds like he turned out real good! My husband and I have visited Barry's Church several times, when visiting Galax. Sonny has a real good son, in Barry. I'm sure the same for Jason! My family always rented places from Elwood and Doris at Holden Beach, when I was growing up. Condolences to the family and trusting God's grace and peace will surround you!

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

I met Sonny 28 years ago and I remember what a vibrant man he was. And the stories he would tell !He was a gifted taxidermist and he enjoyed people. He had a love and honor for God, country and his family. He was delt a crucial blow when he had the stroke, but with his Angel- Mary, he worked hard to regain what he did. I was proud to call him 'friend'. Mary if there is anything at all that I can do for you, please let me know. I pray that God will wrap you in His loving arms and give you...

Sonny was an original with deep thoughts and a long list of attributes such as he really believed in Family, God, Country; he loved his family and especially Mary- who was and is an Angel. He loved fiercely. He was a gifted taxidermist. I was proud to call him 'friend'
Mary, my heart weeps for you. If there is anything at all that you need, please call me. you and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers. God bless you.

Jason, Joanie, Kaylei, and Ashlyn, May God comfort you during this hard time., thinking of each of you and prayers your way. We love you, Timothy, Trudy, Tyler, and Cheyenne
