    Lisa and Linda, Your Dad was a great person and a wonderful friend to Mike & myself. When I worked for your Dad he taught me alot about insurance and I also learned alot from your Mom, she taught me how to make peanut brittle.I still make it today. They both will be missed but they are together at last. Sincerely, Debbie Jones

    This is real hard for me to send. Sondley and I had a very close relationship. My deepest sympathy goes out to the family. It is the memories I have that we spent together that I will cherish the most.

    Lisa, I am so sorry for the loss of your Dad. He was a wonderful man. I told him he was the kind of Dad I always wanted. I'm happy that your kids are all big enough to remember him. I am sorry for Linda too.Even though she didn't seem to realize it, she just lost her best friend. If there is anything I can do to help in anyway, I am just a phone call away. I'm glad James has a new wife to help him thru this. I also hear you are not alone either. Your Dad was so proud of you. He was proud of your kids too. His mind stayed sharp enough that he could tell me what they were doing all the time. He kept up with all the sports David is in. So, to say he was proud of his grandkids is sort of an understatement. Thank God for James. Sonny knew he could depend on him. Anyway, just know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I know you will miss your morning talks with your Dad. He looked forward to them. Remember Lisa, I want to help, just let me know how. Many prayers are going your way. Shiela
