Dear Aunt Freda, Cindy, Scott, Kim and family - I'm deeply saddened to hear about Uncle Sonny. I have many fond and great memories of him while growing up from a little boy to adulthood. Everything from when the boys would come to Grandma's every morning for coffee when she used to watch me as a little boy, to staying up late playing cards, racing track cars in Grandma's kitchen and listening to his great fishing stories!!!
I know that he has had a lot of health problems over the past several years even since I last saw him at Grandma's funeral. But I hope he is at peace now and no longer in pain.

I'm very sorry that I am unable to come attend the service and see Uncle Sonny one more time but I will remember him as the big, strong man that he always was, wearing his muscle shirts, always joking around with me and his unmistakeable laugh.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all and I will always have Uncle Sonny close to my heart. I will miss him greatly.

Love you and take care
