Brenda, so sorry to hear about Sonny. We go back a long time and we did work together at Reynolds for 30 years. I think I remember when he was dating you and I think had a little MG at one time. You had him a long time--he will be missed by all.
God Bless You As You as you Move Forward In Life.......Billy Darby
