Hello My Beloved Daddy! On 12/10/2021, would have been your 77th birthday. We still miss you so much beyond words. I thank God that we have many beautiful memories of you. I thank God for how close I was with you and how we talked all the time. I just wish we had more time together on this earth. But I do talk to you all the time for I know you are looking down on us from heaven. I am thankful for all the life lessons I learned from you and the many lectures and talks that we had over my 54 years on this earth! The may talks that you and I had throughout the years have helped to still guide me throughout my life in past , present and will help guide me in the future. I love you so much and miss you twice as much. Please know that my mother, your wife of 55 years and your grandson Raymond JR love you and we all miss you beyond words. We do our best to acknowledge and remember you often and as much as possible. There isn't a day that goes by we don't think about you and miss you. Daddy you were one of a kind and I thank God and very proud that you are my father.

Dearest Mama Wilma and Bettye Jean, Your hearts emptied by the loss of a phenomenal man—devoted husband, loving father and grandfather, caring friend and neighbor—but not void of precious memories. I pray those memories warm your souls and lead you through. As Sonny sits at the right hand of God may you be encouraged by the legacy of love and wisdom he has left behind. For though his passing leaves a heartache no one can heal his love leaves a memory no one can steal. I cannot erase your pain but I can share your loss through loving embrace and steadfast friendship. My son and I lit a candle in our hearts months ago when Sonny started suffering. The candle is still lit for him in heaven and for you both here on earth. May it remind you we are with you, we love you, and you are never alone. Peace, Love, & Light, Danielle and PJ

Wilma, I’m so sorry to hear about Sonny’s passing. He was truly a special man that I’m proud to call my friend. He’s left a lasting impression on so many people with his good and kind heart. I’ll always remember him introducing me to you as his girlfriend. What a character he was. He’ll be sorely missed by many people.

Uncle Sonny I know that you knew I loved you be on any words I could say, and you will forever be in my heart as the tears fall, until the day we meet again. We little knew the day that God was going to call you home, in life we loved you dearly in death we love you the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, but you didnt go alone for part of us went with you the day God called you home,you left us peaceful memories some more then others, your love is still our guide and though we can not see you. You are always at our side, our family chain is broken in more words then I can say nothing seems the same but as God calls us one by one our chain will link again. Love your favorite niece from birth Debra Denice Brown
