Dear Rasmussen Family,
It's never easy to part with a loved one. We cherish the memories of our growing up years in Draper. Your family's kindness and friendship was very special. May the good times and fond memories overshadow your sadness.
With all are hope,
Pierre & Family

Dear Rasmussen family, your mother and dad have been very special to our family since the very day we moved into Draper. We will always be grateful for your love for our family. We are sorry to see Sonne go but we all know that is part of the plan. May the Lord bless each of you as you mourn his passing.

Dear Shannon, Diane, and Family
I was so sorry to hear of your dad's passing. He will be truly missed. He was such an icon in Draper. He knew more about my family history than I did and when I would go to buy corn he would tell me more of my history each time. He was a treasure. I have great memories of him and your sweet mother growing up in Draper and coming to play and our Draper 3rd ward memories. Just know our thoughts and prayers are with you. He was one of a kind.

We were sorry to hear of the passing of our friend Sonne. I remember the hamburgers and orange drink that I had at his store for lunch during my school days at Draper Elemtary and Draper Jr. High. They were the best burgers I have ever had. Sonne was a very special person and a pillar in the community. He will be sorely missed. We will miss seeing the pumpkins on his lawn in the Fall. We send our deepest sympathies to the Rasmussen family.

Sorry to hear of Sonnie's passing. I was friends with Shannon for years and spent many hours in their home. I wish your families well as you say goodbye to a good man.

Dear Jeff and Mary,
We are so sad to hear of Sonne's passing...and so soon after your mom too! I can see his legacy is the work ethic he lived and taught his children and grandchildren. I appreciate your friendship all these years. You are both an inspiration to me!

Love, Janet Wheadon Criner

Sonne was our bus driver when I was a teacher for the summer science program. However, he was much more than a bus driver as he worked with us in teaching the students. He was always fun to be around. We will miss him when we stop at Rasmussen Farms for produce. We have enjoyed cheering with him at the BYU games. He will be missed but has lived a long, fulfilling life.

Dear Family,
We've known Sonne for so many years - it just won't seem the same to go buy corn without him being there. I'm glad to know that Ramona was waiting for him. Both of our boys dumped milk for him and he took our oldest son to a BYU game, which he will always remember. We knew him even better thru Wheeler Farm when he let them "borrow" a pig until it had weiners and then let them keep some of the weiners. He was and is a great man.
