The love we have for you
will never fade away.
We'll think of you, our special friend
throughout each passing day.
We'll walk into the room
and see your empty chair;
Although we know you are resting,
We'll feel your presence there.
The memories of your laughter,
your warm and loving smile,
your eyes so full of happiness,
your heart that of a child.
Memories are forever.....Love you Daddy
I will miss you always.
Since I was a young man,
In all that I've been through;
You've always been my hero,
No one stood as tall as you.
You were the one who took the time,
To teach what I needed to learn;
The lessons in life you shared with me,
You shared with love and concern.
I loved you as a young man,
And now that I am grown;
I share those lessons you taught me;
With children of my own.
Generation to generation,
I'll pass on your legacy;
I'll tell of my loving Father,
And all that you meat to me.
It really doesn't seem real that Martha and Sonny are both gone. I had some of the best times in my life with them. Sometimes Sonny would get mad at me & Martha and he'd make her take me home. I don't know what I would have done without those 2 and Dorothy when I was younger. Sonny bought me my first and 2nd car. They were always just there for everyone.Sonny was a quiet man but a very loving person. It is amazing that they all live so close and manage to keep close family ties. They are an extraordinary family and I know thier loss will linger for a long time. My heart and prayers are with each and everyone of you. I could write a book of the good times but I won't bore everyone.
All my love to each and everyone that feels the loss and I know there are a lot of people that cared him & Martha.
I remember as a child my daddy telling me wait and see where we are going when I asked where are we going and as soon as we passed the lights on hwy 30 when I saw the lights under that bridge I knew we were coming to see you and Granny and Ashlie. I remember walking through your front door and you and Granny and Ashlie always giving me a hug. I rememebr you sitting in your recliner next to Granny in hers, you knodding and smiling and ya'll laughing. I know I didnt get to be as close as I wanted to be to you, but I know you are shining down on us all now, and I close my eyes and picture your smile....Some memories just will never be forgotten just like the love you had for everyone. I loved and missed you then and I will always love and miss you now.
Little did we know that Tuesday morning God was going to call your name? In life we loved you dearly; in death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone. For part of us went with you the day God called you home. You left us beautiful memories, your love is still our guide, and though we cannot see you,you are always by our side. Our family chain is broken and nothing will be the same, but as God calls us one by one the chain will link again!
RIP Papa Sonny
I remember as a kid Sonny had this 1949 Ford 2 door coupe with a Beer Keg bolted on the trunk of the car.I thought that was the neatest thing that I had ever saw.I rode around with him because I worked with him building fences and he was my Brother in Law and I just enjoyed being around him because he was a good person.I also watched him go through the pain of a divorce with my sister.I also experienced that pain because I was losing a brother in law that I loved so much.Sonny Thanks for passing by me on the way to heaven.
