Hey unc🥺. Man did I learn a lot from you. You taught me how to play softball 🥎 at a young age. You said before you passed I needed to get back into it because you always told me I had a good left hook😂😭. You worked with me in middle school teaching me everyday how to swing that bat. You definitely gave me life lessons and words of encouragement that I will always remember. Can't question god but I will take what you taught me in softball and dedicate my time into it. You kept saying before you left I (keep telling you to get back into softball 🥎). Not because you are gone but because I don't want to waste a talent that was instilled in me from now another ancestor. We got Aunt Jauq. It's. a promise get your rest now🥺❤️❤️. We love you uncle Johnny tell Keisha and Zay we said hello😭❤️. And I still have my jacket btw. And yes it's still in great condition. You told me not to draw on it and not to let nobody draw on it. But I want to put a reminder on it. If that's fine with you of course💪🏼💪🏼. You told me I have talent with softball 🥎 and I actually miss playing it. But again thank you 🙏🏽 for spending days with me at the park teaching me softball. I'll take what you've taught me and teach other girls just that 😭❤️.

To my dad, I want to say I'm so grateful to call you my dad. I want to thank you for all you have taught me and done for me all my life. Also thank you for always being there for your grandkids, you have always inspired us to be the best we can be. No words can express the sadness we are having. That being said we love ❤ you and we will truly miss you. Rest in Heaven Love always Sonji
