Thanks, Sonny, & be blessed with peace ...

My deepest condolences to Zazie and the entire family. May God comfort you and provide peace as you adjust to the new norm. He was so proud of you when I met him at the Church Anniversary when you were honored as an Unsong Heroine. Blessings.

My deepest condolences to my sister Zazie and everyone who holds Sonny close to their hearts. He was a awesome father and person. Thank you Sonny for the best and most fun memories: fishing, going to Six Flags and including me in your love of Zazie. We will miss you but we have peace knowing that you are resting in the loving arms of our Father in heaven.
