    So sorry to hear about the passing of Uncle Sonny. What a wonderful life to celebrate! He was a wonderful influence on my life! I can honestly say that even as a child, his positive attitude and his wonderful smile was something you wanted to emulate. Love to Aunt Rose and all the family! Miss you all,❤️. Love Ellen.
