To the Powell Family. Our most sincerest condolences to you all for your great loss. Sonny was an amazing soul, and was always joking around, laughing, smiling. Growing up in the Nite Dreamers Family, I saw many of the band members as family. But Sonny I always had called him Uncle. We all grew up and drifted apart. But the memories of Sonny will always remain in our hearts. God bless you all. And may Sonny rest in eternity.
