Hi, Peggy. It's your old next-door neighbor: Marcia Carvin (Ryan). I'm so sorry to hear Sonny died. My brother, Bill, called me to tell me his obituary was in the newspaper. Both of us started talking about the old days when we were little ones. Both of us are still in Phoenix and both our parents are dead.
